Did you lock your phone on another phone after it was stolen. If didn’t lock it on MI account, they can flash and get away with it

As a business man Before you give him the code please make sure he pays for it half the amount you bought the phone. I don’t encourage stealing. If he doesn’t pay then this people will keep on stealing around and selling peoples phone.

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?
Na Niger state e dey not Niger republic

If you give the code you be ódé . Big time Ódé if you give out the code. Reduce your loss by charging something reasonable in return.

Why give the code?
Do you know everything (illegal or fraudulent activities) done on that phone can be trace back to you? Either you part with little money to get the phone from him. If he agrees have him send the phone using courier service if he doest agree then forget about it.
Your information contain in the phone should be more important to you

I experienced this last year.
Lost my Redmi Note 9S (New phone that I bought in February sad) April and in September or thereabout, someone reached out claiming to be in Benin Republic.
That I should help him with the password. I asked him to return the phone that I'll pay him and he declined.

I forgot about the whole thing.

Contrary to what you may be thinking, you may actually be encouraging deviant behaviours unknowingly. You may as well have been stabbed to death in the course of that theft. So many terrible things accompany acts involving phone theft, from rape etc. It is not a good idea to give him the code. Let him return the phone to you and you pay for the cost of the return since he knows now it was stollen. Even if you can't pay for the return, better the phone remains useless.

Am not an expert in phones but there could also be security concerns here as well. If the phone is used for fraudullent acts or even terrorist acts, investigation by lawfully authorities may eventually lead to you as the owner of the phone. Why should you give someone access to the phone you claimed was stollen from you if not because you were working together. That will become the narrative that can/ may be used to implicate you.

Don't hive him the code. Seriously, don't. This is not about being wicked. Its the right thing to do. It was a stollen product. Simple. It should be returned.

Cook up story. I lost this same Xiaomi model with iCloud, they unluck the phone very very easy.
according to the guy with the phone now,it was unlocked but he reset it after he bought it not knowing it was locked and the people he bought it from had unlocked it
It’s just like iPhones locked to a network
If you reset it,the phone would be locked again and it would cost alot to unlock it

He made the mistake of resetting it not knowing it was locked before and he probably can’t afford to unlock it or even know how to go about it

That’s if he isn’t the thief though or knows the theft and was just an innocent guy duped in the market

Before he bought that phone they already told him the problem of the phone (if actually he bought).
Since he claims they defrauded him by selling a stolen phone to him, why didn't he go to police because he has every evidence to prove that the phone is a stolen phone why they could not be able to unlock it. Use your not bro...

He has 2 options, it's either he reports the case to the police over there, since he has every evidence that they sold a stolen phone to him.
Or
He will have to pay you a little money like 15k, as a compensation fee before u tell him the code.

Nothing like that. He know he can't use the phone without the owner's code. You think he would have contacted op if the phone was unlocked?
