thank you for the information, but i will still keep my imei number secret.
it was the sheer volume of people that responded to this persons offer. the thread is not so far back, and i just checked, there are 15 pages filled with dozens of members posting not just their imei numbers, but service providers, locations and the countries they live in, and many posted phone numbers and other personal info, and all at the request of the person offering to unlock their phones. they were queuing up to post important information to a perfect stranger!!
let me make it clear, i am making no accusations that the person offering to unlock the phones was trying to just obtain numbers for nasty reasons, i', sure they were bona fide. however, they were very specific about the infon they wanted and there was a rush to give it, i'm sure had he asked for credit card numbers they would have posted them too, anything to get a phone unlocked.
i live in ireland and you can get just about any phone unlocked for about $6 << >>, walk in, wait a few minutes and walk out again, no identity, nothing.
the police and providers are running campaigns asking people to keep imei numbers safe and report the number the moment your phone goes missing. insurance companies are paying out less and less, usually only if the phone is actually taken from your person. they check where the last calls were made and it better be close to where you say you were or no payout, period!
what a crazy world it's become, there are now more cellphones in ireland than there are legitimate residents, there is total market penetration, few meet to talk anymore. sad really.
