Reminds me of back in the early days, one of my first sells on eBay was an old iPhone. I was naive enough to not know that the purchaser could mark it as paid without actually paying. Not know how the process worked, I shipped the iPhone not realizing I was never actually paid (and never going to be). The purchaser deleted their eBay account to cover their tracks. The BIG irony... I forgot to reset the phone. I later got angry, threatening messages from the purchaser under a different account saying they would disassemble for parts if I didn't give them the password for the phone they never paid for. 😂
Point is, ya... Apple's anti-theft technology is from their viewpoint a feature, not a bug.

@kodamachameleon Sorry you got scammed and harassed but that’s one hell of a funny story in the end. 🤣
