The reason the guy contact u is because he doesn't want to spend money to unlock it or lemme just say there aren't competent phone engineer over there... In Nigeria, them go remove the mi account and the destiny of the previous user join if it has been linked to it(just joking) ... Theres no phone that can't b unlocked... Eyinbo wey do pencil nahim also do cleaner

PurestBoy:


Must you reply every little thing that quotes you? You get time sha

horlahwaley:
And one ios mumu fan created a thread a while ago that only an iphone user has the power to lock or wipe his or her phone remotely when stolen

Ola17:


Don’t think you are being a ‘good guy’ by giving him the unlock code, you will be encouraging robbery. It is either he sends the phone to you or return it to where he bought it. People steal phones because there’s an easy market for them and we must do all we can to discourage such.

A lot of people have lost their lives because robbers wanted their phones. Doesn’t matter if you’ve moved on or not; please don’t give out that code!

Be careful.
Don't use your two legs and walk yourself into wahala this new year.
You might still have some sensitive info on the phone
What if the phone is used for dubious activities in the future and ownership traced back to you?
I'm not a tech guru but I heard someone can be in Nigeria and call/chat you with a foreign code. What if this supposedly victim is the thief who stole your phone?
If I were you, I will not give him the code. Let him report to the police

He will have to pay you a little money like 15k, as a compensation fee before u tell him the code.

Olabodmit:


Yes I’m going to give the guy. Just post it here so that people can learn lessons. I had totally moved on and forget about the phone

These are the screenshot of conversation with the Niger guy

Olabodmit:
This morning I received from Niger “ hi you lost your phone redmi note 7 and i found it i'm in niger “. I was surprised when I saw the message. Though I couldn’t remember the precise date they stole this Redmi Xiaomi in my room at night, when I woke up I couldn’t find my phone again, I try to call it but it was switched off. Then I realized my phone has been stolen.

I went to Ikorodu police station to report the case, the outrageous amount they charged, made me decision to leave the phone. Instead of paying 40k to track the phone which I have no grantee of getting back.

I went back home very sad. As I was thinking about the stolen phone, my friend came to check me, then I collected his phone and log in to my mi account. I locked everything lockable from the mi account.

Since the year 2020 I didn’t hear anything until this morning, apparently I have even forget the phone cus I got a big phone after waiting 5 months. I was so surprised when the guy chat me and also send me the phone picture. The reason why I post this is that if you’re using Redmi xiaomi phone always make sure you activate the mi account. D thing secured die, they flashed it and the phone is still locked.

Now the Niger guy is begging me to give him the code? Should I give him or tell him to return to the seller?
