I am selling my iPhone 5s on Craigslist now that I got my 6Plus. I have a possible buyer but they are asking me to email them certain info. By hey say, "Also can you tell me the ESN/MEID. I'm buying this to use on TING's network and I just want to make sure it will work for them.". Is this safe to provide them? This is the first iphone I have sold on Craigslist.
Got a tip for us?

I would not provide that information personally.
There are a lot of scammers out there.
I also have a listings there. Craigslist bit first but it's ok. I'm not worried about meeting anyone. Just need to know if it's safe to give someone these numbers.
I would not give them the #s but that's just me. I would offer to meet them at AT&T/Verizon or whatever carrier store. They can also check warranty information while we meet in person.
I just emailed him back saying I am more than happy to let him verify what he needs to when we meet up before the sale is final. Probably won't ever here from him again
