This didn't work for my phone I think because the code *#06# did not work for my phone and I copy the IMEI number from settings and type it in column and checked but it display nothing and I know my phone is not fake I can even bet my blokus on dat, the phone is Motorola droid ultra.
The code doesn't work for all phones.Most branded phones like at&t,verizon and others won't display your imei with that code. These doesn't mean your phone is fake.It's original but branded.

Have you ever heard that someone bought an iPhone 6Plus or Samsung Galaxy S7 or any high end phone only to discover that it was fake (chinco)? It happens all the time, here's how to check if your phone is original or not.

For all phones except iPhone simply dial *#06# and a number will be displayed on your screen, if the phone is original, it will begin with 35 and it must be 15 digits in all, example 357286085471230. Some Android phones and other smart phones may not start with 35 but the digits displayed on the screen must be 15 in number. If it is greater than or less then 15, the phone is a fake phone.
Advanced method for all phones except iPhone:

Once you get the IMEI, go to Imei.info. Input your phone’s IMEI in the box and hit “CHECK.”
The system will verify the phone’s information. If it displays information different from the handset, then your handset might be fake.


Once you get the IMEI, go to "Imei.info"(without the quote). Input your phone’s IMEI in the box and hit “CHECK.”
The system will verify the phone’s information. If it displays information different from the handset, then your handset might be fake.


To check if an iPhone is original or fake get the imei ( To get an iPhone’s serial number, go to Settings > General > About phone ) and follow the steps below;

Once you get the serial number, input it here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do. It will check your phone’s warranty period.
If the system says “We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again,” it is likely that your iPhone is fake.

My phone has two IMEI numbers both beginning with 35 and 15 digit long.

I even confirm the phone from Motorola and OP is telling me it's fake, if Motorola confirm it to be original I don't think I need any other confirmation from any website again.
