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
why encouraging a thief? If you have moved on think about others.

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?
My own advice is
DAJU! KALA! ! WUWA IKA!!!

Bros op don't be deceived
Whether you locked your MI account or not
It's very much possible to flash it

Only tech savvy peeps know what I'm talking about


The phone was unlocked after the theft
And it was sold to the guy

Now the guy thinking he can just wipe the phone since he's the new owner not knowing that once a locked phone is wiped it will be automatically locked

This what happened and not your account that you locked



Incase you don't know I can bye pass anytype of iPhones Samsung and other android devices and I'm sure you know how iPhones security are ... But still it's still bypassable

Op, I find this story to be unbelievable. Do Nigeriens speak English? Forget the country code, it is an easy thing to get. Let's assume the story is true, you are not been smart.

Re: My Stolen Phone Of 2 Years Was Found In Niger Republic by gozzlin: 5:35pm On Jan 12, 2022
I have a feeling that this person you're chatting with was the one who stole the phone from you in the first place. He is just lying that he bought it from the market. Nigeriens don't speak English, they speak French. How come the guy's English is that fluent?

Don't give him the code, or at least let him pay before you release the code. Even if he wasn't the person who stole the phone in the first place, he should know that buying a used phone means buying something that was likely stolen. So, he should be ready to bear the consequences that come out of it. Tell him how much to pay if you want to be lenient with him. Ignore the fake honesty he's displaying there.

He should give him the code since he's been blessed with a sounding replacement.

What if the phone was with him and caused him a heavy pain of no traces?

Please � give it out Mr Op
Re: My Stolen Phone Of 2 Years Was Found In Niger Republic by BullyBullies: 5:41pm On Jan 12, 2022
OP, before you give him the code, tell the dude to link you with one beautiful educated Niger babe first. They got some bad ass rich, beautiful and educated Fulani babes there too. Don't sleep on it.

Giving him the code is act of encouraging phone thieves to continue , How sure are you that the person chatting you isn't the same person that stole the phone ?

Nothing will make me to give him the code unless they send me at least part of the money I spent on buying the phone .

Don't think you're being charitable by giving him the code.

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!

Exactly.

And how is he even sure the person trying to get the code is not one of the robbery syndicate members?

This sounds like the same format they use to get people to send Icloud code of stolen phones.

Same thing I did to mine that was robbed at a gun point Dec 2020.

Pointing gun at me, I willingly gave the arm robber and they zoomed off in their car. They robbed so many persons that day, just before Christmas day.

Till date, the phone is still locked. I even composed a message that the phone was stolen and included a number to reach if it lands in anyone hands. Any time the phone is switched on, that message will display on the screen.

They can't unlock it. Cuz I locked it through redmi iCloud.

In fact, that phone is useless without me unlocking it.

Lol! You can't bypass an iCloud phone lock. That's why I like redmi. For those that like buying second hand phones. If it's redmi, check it very well before paying. It might be locked by the owner.

I suggest he takes the phone back to the seller and ask for a refund,if he’s telling the truth.The phone should Kukuma be useless to everybody.
