If that iPhone was lost or stolen, then kindly return it to the owner because it is not legally yours.


However, if you had purchased that iPhone from a stranger, then you could be in possession of stolen property.


My advice:

Return it for a refund because it’s not legally yours and the seller should be made aware.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
