[OT] Stolen mobile phones

["Malcolm Surgenor" <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies for the off topic post but I suspect some of you out there have
more knowledge on this than me and I couldn't find a definitive answer on
Google!

I bought a mobile of eBay.  It was sent to me by Parceline - I know this
because I was able to track it through their consignment number.  It was
never delivered to me and was returned to the original sender - apparently
because it was incompletely addressed. Anyway it never made it back to the
original sender either so after a couple of weeks of trying to locate it he
reported it missing (stolen).

The phone did then eventually turn up and he resent it.  I now have it but
when I first tried it I could get No Service on it.  When I gave my service
provider the phone's  IMEI number they told me it was blacklisted.  :-(

Now I'm having difficulty in getting the original seller to help me.  I
thought only he as the registered owner can get it un-black listed.  But
he's now not responding to emails.

Is there anything else I can do??

Malcolm
