Tease the seller that you want to confirm if the phone is an easybuy phone. If he encourages you to go ahead, fine. If he tries to dissuade you, then you have every reason to be suspicious.

Hopez456:
Is there any consequences for the new buyer of the device?

Yes... You will have to pay up the debt of the original buyer

Nairaland now is ethnic & religious mudslinging. Even political/economic issues that can be discussed critically become watered down to insults on Tinubu, Obi, and Atiku. It's like everyone has become a bitter and thoughtless machine.

Well, there was a tribe that started it first. Believing that they have Monopoly of cyberbullying and harassment. It's typical of them to be sending messages that can be intimidating or threatening in nature. But they forget that there's another tribe that owns the Media 😂🙌, I come in peace 🙏

Thanks I've sent my detail, segun

I'm not sure if I should be saying this here but one of my pals here just hacked his easy buy phone

Boy I was so surprised 😂, now he gets to keep the phone with repaying back the monthly loan

Well I've left the area for now before FBI will tell us to open up and raise up our hand where they can see 'em😂🤣

That your pals will be among saying BS about Nigeria being bad, when nuisance like him are the one bringing us back

May God punish that your pal if he doesn't pay up the loan and he shall never do anything good with his life of he doesn't pay up

You don't even need to go setting. You will see easybuy app in that phone. Before people normally wipe the app away. But now, den no fit do am oo, if u never pay ur money finish, nothing den go do, the app go dey there. I stand to be corrected tho.

It can be done. You just need the right tool and maybe, a very basic knowledge of Android file system.

Now that Google has moved to erofs. Android is now becoming a very secured OS.

U can also download fake GPS on playstore, and on your device location, then go to settings >>>developer options (if u don't see it on your phone, go to " About Phone" and look for "build number" click on it repeatedly like up to 5 times until it says u re now a developer) >>> then look for "developer options" in your settings and scroll to find " Select mock location app" click on it, u will find the fake GPS among the two options there, if your unable to click it , then your phone location has been locked ( easybuy doings)

Fake GPS is temporarily use to change devices location to anywhere in world.

Lol…

I hope and pray that Nigerians change for the growth of Nigeria.

For the FBI stuff, no one go catch u or call u an accomplice to a crime. It was not your BVN toast was submitted during purchase. The person whose BVN was submitted will face the full wrath of the law when the time comes.

I want to buy a fairly used phone, but how do I check if a fairly used phone still has easy-buy debt on it?
Sadly no blog post has answered this question.

Step 1: Make sure that there is data on the phone
Step 2: download easybuy app on the phone if it is not on the phone(but it will always be)
Step 3: check out the home page of the app. If the owner is owing easybuy, it will show

IS HERE

You didn't consider if he can afford a new one at the moment before making this statement.

Easybuy.app domain is for sale.

Just root the phone and flash a new ROM

Chibuzoripob:

I bought a used Samsung galaxy note 3 and used it for 6 years without any repair.

blaquemyc:
There should be a watermark from easy buy on it.

Not always. The one I bought does not have it.
