its 350681

Bad news, every iPhone I have seen starts 00, enter the full imei number at the following page and see what make it says the phone is. I think you have a fake.

so what did the website say?

redmatchstickman

the top imei nomber says number invalid basically and the bottom one says The validity status for this IMEI is so low, that it is deemed to be invalid

2 IMEI's sound like a chines copy with the dual sim. The battery is probably removable and the sim slots or holders will be behind the battery.

If so, get your money back, no fake is worth more than £100, in fact, most aren't even worth £10. The build quality and longevity of the phones is atrocious.

That means the numbers are fake, and not built by a factory recognised by the people who issue imei numbers.

Definitely a fake phone then.

If he gets difficult threaten him with TS, or that you will tell everyone else what he is doing (and then still tell everyone after he refunds).

Is your iPhone one of these?
