Red Flag Checker

Answer yes or no for each question. We'll score the risk.

Is the price suspiciously low for the model and condition?

Is the seller refusing or dodging giving you the IMEI?

Is the phone still being financed (payments owed to a carrier)?

Is the phone carrier locked, with no plan to unlock?

Is it still signed in to iCloud, Google, or Samsung account?

Is the battery health poor (below 80%) or unknown?

Are there cracks, dead pixels, water indicators tripped, or major damage?

Is there no return policy or buyer protection?
