Can someone help me....

I purchased a phone from a seller a couple of days ago. I ran the IMEI and everything checked out ok. We also had to establish that it was carrier unlocked and she was able to send me the Apple Tech Support email (she called them) confirming it was unlocked. I ran the IMEI numerous times in those few days while deciding to purchase it.

I get it home....set it up (still working as my phone currently). I checked the IMEI just now and it shows "invalid". I checked it both on Apple site and on other IMEI check sites. Why is it showing invalid all the sudden?

*I did go back to Apple website and run it again using my Serial Number. With using the serial it pulled up the info..."Purchase date, tech support and the warranty date"....

What has happened with the IMEI??
