The message on screen, which popped up an hour ago when I returned from work says:

Amazon

Passkey: 61783337 (doesnt work when entered)

IMEI: 354484224894558

"This device has been reported as lost or stolen and must be returned to Amazon.

Please call 08002797234 for details"

According to a simple google search, I discovered real people´s 47 comments saying its a scam, located UK but picks up a chinese or indian woman with bad english etc. Can somebody help me? Im shivering rn for real. I havent contacted that number yet. Phone is like new, paid 800$ for it early October. did I buy a stolen phone or what is this?

BTW, I contacted the guy who sold me the phone by mail with attached photo (seems I cant attach it here) and so far he hasnt replied. As Im writing he replied with 2 mails and wants to call me. He says he doesnt know whats happening, but will give me another phone or money back, but…questionable still and I fear Im gonna lose this and my nerves. Someone, please :( :( :(

    If this is a system message you are seeing, then yes get the refund.

    If this is just a regular Text message then it is a simple scam.
