Classifieds iPhone broken iPhone sold?
Hello, I sold a broken iPhone on the classifieds for 60 euros, an iPhone 11 to be exact. The buyer was interested and bought it from me. Naturally, he asked if the iCloud lock was still in place. I replied that unfortunately I didn't know because a good friend gave it to me so I could replace the battery. Now he's threatening to report me to the police because the phone doesn't work and has an iCloud lock. He has virtually no information about me, just my phone number. Should I expect to be reported?

He can show you. Your phone number is registered. Is there something going on? I don’t think so. He can only show you for fraud. Fraud needs the intention. You can’t cheat anyone without knowledge. You won’t be able to prove that. Can he do something private? It’s hard to say. Depends on the description of the display. If you have explicitly sold the device as a defect, it is the buyer’s risk that it cannot repair the device. In my opinion, this also includes the iCloud lock.
Problem is, once he shows you, you have to react first. In case of a criminal complaint, this is one thing if he shows you privately, you definitely need a lawyer. There is the question whether you are insured with legal protection. Then, the costs could have a greater impact than the device is value at all.
As usual: there are no eBay classifieds! Either eBay or classifieds.
The police are not interested in such small things.
It depends on what you wrote in the ad: if you have explicitly written in there that it is defective and still with iCloud lock, you are fine out. Oral statements do not apply.
Oh, yeah, you have to. You knew or know it’s not working because of the lock. They call the fraud. This does not affect the value of the goods.
Yes, telephone number is enough.
He asked the question about the iCloud spin after buying?
