I just bought an iPhone 4S on eBay (from a seller with more than 650 auctions and 100 % positive feedback).
I checked the ESN on CheckESNfree, Swappa, and Verizon - and all three websites say that this ESN belongs to a Motorola Droid Razr. With CheckESNfree the ESN comes back clean, with Swappa it comes back as "NOT proper", with Verizon it seems to be ok.
I also checked the ESN with Apple (on Apple's support page, where you can check your service and support coverage, you can use either the serial number or the ESN) it says that this is not a valid number.
See also enclosed screen shots.
What does this mean? Is this just a mistake in the database or is this an indication that this was an iPhone with a bad ESN and that the current ESN got somehow hacked into it?
