With the holiday season in full swing, it’s important to be cautious when shopping for tech deals on Facebook Marketplace. Here are some tips to help you identify a fake iPhone:
✔ Inspect the camera: A fake iPhone will have a separate piece of glass for the camera, while a real iPhone has a single continuous piece.
✔ Check the IMEI: Ensure the IMEI on the box matches the one on the phone; mismatched IMEIs are a red flag.
✔ Check the model number: If both IMEI’s are valid, ensure the model number on the box matches the model number on the phone.
✔ Tap to wake: Real iPhones wake up when you tap the screen, if it doesn’t, it might be fake.
✔ Verify receipts: If the seller provides a receipt, contact an Apple store to confirm its authenticity.
✔ Meeting place: Always arrange to meet the seller in a safe location, such as a police station.
