Is There A Check To See Whether A Phone Is Stolen?

Kuna simu hapa nauziwa imekuja na story mingi, anasema ni zile phone zimefika Mombasa msee akashindwa kulipa duty zikatoka na backdoor just before auction. Bei iko sawa, shida ni nataka kujua kama ni ya wizi. Is there a way you can do a check for the IMEI no. uone kama its been reported stolen or something in that line

‘Story mingi’ is usually the first hint…

Wachana nayo tu

Jitoe

vile @Buckets amesema

Utajipata kamiti charged with robbery and murder

Kama una @shocks absorber ya kuvumilia shida za kamiti chapa hiyo deal.

knock offs.
hakunanga vitu ya rahisi.

There are online imei checks for stolen phones but only works if the victim listed. If you are unsure about the deal walkaway ukiamua ku proceed have it documented.

Amekuambia imetoka na mlango ya nyuma ,do you know the definition of theft under the penal code; any slightest asportation of anything without any claim of even if you didn’t have intentions to deny the owner right of it.

True

Do you know being in possesion of stolen goods is a crime in itself?

The onus is upon you the buyer to exercise due diligence before buying an item so as not fall foul of the law on possession of stolen goods.
If you doubt it, leave it.

Usinunue simu ya wizi. Hujui kama mwenyewe yuko hai.

Just trust your instincts

Hiyo wacha nayo

nunua simu mbaya mbaya

KAMa ni iphone kuja nikuchekie… Alafu no one anaeza nishika for possesing a stolen phone… uliniona nikiiba?

Hot items are a potential gateway to life imprisonment or kinyonga. Imagine, you buy a stolen phone, and the owner was mugged and murdered in the process. IMEI iseme ni wewe. Wacheni shortcuts.

kama mbaya mbaya. chukua tenje wacha uoga :D:D
