iPhone Trade

I am trading someone off of craigslist, my space gray for his gold iPhone 6 plus. They are exactly the same specs only difference is the color.

Here are my questions...

Do I need to call AT&T and have the serial numbers or IMEI transferred? I don't want the person that I am trading with to be able to report it lost or stolen and be stuck with a useless phone. I know to back up my phone and wipe it clean and take the SIM card.

Since my phone has applecare added and the one I am trading for doesn't. Since the phone is under 60 days, I was just going to have Applecare added to it and have Apple refund the unused portion of my current phone. A regular employee can do that, correct? I don't need to make an appointment, do I?

I actually saw this posted here before. This is EXACTLY why I am asking if I can call AT&T and have them transfer the info so that this can't happen to me. I pretty much don't trust most people and know I have to protect myself.

I called AT&T and they said they can transfer all the info of the IMEI #'s and serial numbers if we are both there with the phones and that way neither of us can report the phones lost or stolen. I figure if the person that I am trading with is okay with that chances are it is legit and if they refuse, there is a reason and don't go through with the trade.
