I am a 6 year AT&T iPhone user and I decided I want to finally make the switch to android. I found a guy selling a GS4 on craigslist and even made him go to the T-Mobile store to activate it with me. I went in and T-Mobile said that they activated it and it would take a couple days to have my phone number ported over. I gave the man his money and waited. Well the phone never started working, the employees at T-Mobile were baffled and told me to call customer care. I called customer care and they said that my IMEI number was reported lost and that's why it wasn't working! I have done EVERYTHING I can to make this situation right. I asked T-Mobile to contact the person that reported it lost and let them know that their phone has been found, believe it or not they don't track who reported it! I tried contacting the guy that sold me the phone but his numbers are disconnected now. I got scammed and now I have a stolen phone that won't work. Is there any way that I can get it working? Change the IMEI number to a legitimate one? Any help is appreciated.
