    No response from them. I’ll keep trying.

    Literally all I’ve seen. I asked if it was stolen and they stayed it was an insurance situation. So Im waiting on a response. I was hoping it was unlocked. If not I’ll request refund. However I’ll have lost 30 to pay 30

    Bro if it sounds too good to be true it is. Of course they aren’t going to tell you its stolen. 🙄

    Go to your local police station with info on the seller and report it. As it is you are most likely in possession of stolen property, which “a reasonable person ought to have known” was stolen. Could be part of a larger stolen goods ring, maybe your tip will help shut them down so the next person doesn’t get fucked too.

    Mojojojo1993 OP ,

    I mean obviously but I can just report the sale. It’s on a well known site and I think stolen things get quick responses. It was going cheap and then a phone company knocked the price up. Meaning they can unlock it.

    Potentially but I think it’s pretty unlikely. Looking at similar sellers and the sellers other listings. They buy in bulk insurance write offs and sell the products for profit.

    search youtube for [phone model] frp unlock

    Mojojojo1993 OP ,

    Is it an actual thing. Or is it a scam ?

    Depending on your brand/model, there are often holes in the FRP that you can leverage to bypass it. I wouldn’t buy software claiming to unlock, hopefully you have a no pc option available like using google assistant or a browser to trigger settings to pop up.

    Some phones have ADB methods.

    Presumably you could make the company that sold it to you take it back or do a chargeback if it was on a credit card.

    Mojojojo1993 OP ,

    Galaxy S10. Bought it from an online seller. Would just send it back. I would lose out regardless. I paid 60. It cost 15 to send. Another 15 to send back. Only save myself 30.

    I’ve factory reset so no chance any of that would work

    For 30 bucks… I’d hang on to it in the hopes I can find an unlock.

    Mojojojo1993 OP ,

    Isn’t that the rub though. Lose out either way. I send it back and barely recoup my costs. Or take it to someone who then charges 30 potentially more to unlock.

    try this first, before sending it back

    Can’t take screenshots due to security policy. Obviously patched that workaround

    Tvkan ,

    This of course depends on your jurisdiction and how much time you’re willing to put into this, but I’d refuse to pay for shipping either way.

    You have a contract with the company, and they didn’t fulfil it, that’s on them. They can’t just send you a defective product and make you pay for (part of) it.

    Mojojojo1993 OP ,

    Was from a knock off eBay. No contract. I’ll just send it back.

    All good. Cheers

    Tvkan ,

    You still have a contract. But I get that it may not be worth the trouble.

    Mojojojo1993 OP ,

    Trying to get refund from seller. If not I’ll get the site involved. Just doo much hassle. Shame you can’t get company to unlock it. Very wasteful
