    And what I was told. 
    What were you actually told though, your posts are very light on specifics and just keep going on about lying.

    Was the phone itself blocked from connecting to a network, IMEI number based, was the contract blocked, e.g. it would work with a new SIM, was the phone locked by Apple or Google at the OS level? People will need specifics to be able to help. 

    Was the "fraud" allegedly perpetrated by you, by a third party? Did you make a claim for unauthorised calls/transactions on the device, was it reported stollen etc? Is the contract in your name and are you fully up to date with all payments?
    This forum feels a little bit toxic to be honest. 
    You had a few replies, none of them could be in any way described as "toxic", I think you need to read them again.

    There are a number of queries that arise from the thread that might make it easier to comment more constructively.
    1. Is the OP being claimed by O2 of somehow facilitating / being party to the fraud?
    2. Is the OP being determined by O2 as having been the victim of fraud?
    3. Has the OP seen any other unusual transactions any where in their accounts / credit reference agency?
    4. Has the phone been blocked or has the SIM been blocked?
    5. Where, when and for how long was the travel abroad?  If this was just a normal holiday or business trip, then the link to the travel abroad might be a red herring.

    What has skin colour got to do with anything? Or do you mean thin-skinned? Either way it's not particularly kind or helpful

    Nobody can help you until you explain the situation better and answer questions you've been asked.
    That's not toxic.
