How To Track A Stolen Mobile Phone Using The IMEI Number by abbey37(m): 3:20pm On Jul 01, 2019
Sadly i fell a victim of the "on chance" robbers at the weekend when i boarded a bus to oshodi from second rainbow bus-stop on the apapa-oshodi express way, luckily i pleaded and was left unhurt i also was able to block all my bank accounts to prevent further disaster and i proceeded to a near by police station where i was directed to several other police stations till i eventually ended up at the orile police station where i was able to file a report, on filing my report the officers sympathized with me and i was able to engage one of the officers and asked if the phone can be tracked and retrieved for me? she said yes but advised i go to the SARS office of lagos command headquarters that it could be done there.

Early today i went to the SARS office at the lagos command police HQ as advised, on getting there i met a couple of the officers and i explained my mission and i was almost almost discouraged by the utterance of one of the officers when he asked me how much i bought but the phone and mentioned the charges i am going to incur if they would track and retrieve the phone for me but one of the other officers quickly rebuke him from discouraging me and offered to help me at a cost a little above 60% of the cost of the phone, i feel like giving up and resign to fate but i have this strong feeling to carry on if not for my personal interest but to get this criminals behind bars and prevent them from preying on other unsuspecting innocent citizens.

If you are a SARS official here and can be of help please signify and if the lagos command headquarters of the nigerian police can see this too please help!!! Guys please advice.

I fell victim last year December when some armed robbers came to rob me in my house. I was robbed of 3 phones and laptop and some money. When I made do to track it through SARS, I paid d tracking fee but till now, nothing happens. I've learnt my lesson. Those SARS are fraud who are good in nothing but brutality. They are bunch of opportunist. Forget ur fones and hustle for another one. I feel u.

Re: How To Track A Stolen Mobile Phone Using The IMEI Number by Nbote(m): 6:35pm On Jul 01, 2019
Isn't it stupidity for U to consider paying 60% of d cost of ur fone for it to b tracked? Let's assume dey succeed in tracking it U do realise U'll still incur some more expenses in getting d fone... Are U tracking it to g3t it back becos of d info in d fone which by now I'm sure has been wiped from d device..

Those people are hopeless, I was told 50k to track. mine with no assurance, I just had to give it up, that's too much money to gamble like that.

Tracking your phone is very possible but the result can be dicey. For instance, smart thieves don't sell instantly just to avoid the phone being tracked. And to those complaining of paying and not getting favorable results, it's either the phone was pieced and used as spare parts (as thieves has nothing to loss) or it was kept for later days that you must have given up searching. Before embarking on tracking, I do advice people that it's a gamble...win or loss but I will be sincere in my dealings. Wish u luck bro

Go and track your phone through Google Gmail Account. You can see the last location of your phone, and when the phone came online. You can even send a warning to the new owner. Format the phone and ring the phone from your end.

op which type of phone are you using,mtk, Qualcomm,if it's mtk phone like itel,tecno or infinix your chance of getting it is zero , because it can easily be wipe ,Gmail bypass and IMEI change but if it's Qualcomm like Samsung,HTC or lg I will say your chance of getting it is over 70percent but you must be patient,just leave it like after one month,go to Ikeja computer village make inquiry's, their are some guys that track stolen phone
