Hlow you goin to tell me there's no way of seeing if the phone is blacklisted or stolen Google an you tell me there's ways an I have check all it says is there is a iCloud lock on the phone

Just because something can be found on the Internet with a Google search does NOT mean it is true or trustworthy. There are tons of IMEI lookup sites, and every single one is a scam. The fact is that nobody actually has access to all the data necessary or a universal list of device hardware IDs as those with that data (manufacturers and carriers) do NOT make that data publicly available.

There is no legitimate place where you can look up an IMEI and get valid information, except from Apple or the carrier the phone was associated with. The sites that purport to give you information based on IMEI are all scams.
