Iphone Clinic

While in Vegas for my bachelorette party, my friends phone was stolen during our first night out at a club. That night, after discovering that it was missing, we checked with security and there was no trace of it. We attempted to use the find my iphone app but the phone had since been turned off. The next day we checked back with security at the club and hotel and it had not turned up, we decided to call it a loss.
While eating breakfast, the phone we had used to locate her iphone (via the app.) notified us the phone had since been turned back on and we were able to view its most recent location on a map 574 N. Eastern Ave. We arrived and noticed that the location was that of a supermarket, and thought it was a mistake. We asked a security guard in the center if there were any cell phone shops in the area after explaining our story to him. He replied that there was a cell phone shop inside the market that sold used phones. We went in to the market and found the Iphone Clinic.
Once inside the iphone clinic, we met a man behind the counter. Inside the cases were 15 – 20 phones out of their boxes on display (obviously used). We proceeded to ask him about the various Iphone 5’s on display, about 2 or 3 of them he turned on for us, until we got to the 4^th one. That one he refused to turn on! He said this particular phone was being «backed up». After we asked about that one he started to get very rude and short with us, and asked us to leave. If you have ever used the find my iphone app you are aware that you can remotely lock your phone and you can set a message on your lock screen that says anything you want, in the event your phone is found. There is no way around this except to erase all info on the phone, or «back it up». We told the man what happened with her phone being stolen but he didn’t seem to care, he wanted us out. He showed us the receipt from the man that brought it in saying that he was a paying customer. After 2 hours of arguing back and forth, a phone call to Verizon to obtain the serial number, and a call to LVPD to file a police report, this man finally turned the phone on. The first thing we saw on the screen was our message that read «THIS PHONE HAS BEEN STOLEN. REWARD IF FOUND CALL #********. He called the number which rang to one of our phones, he was busted.
He eventually surrendered the stolen phone back to my friend, but only after us wasting ½ our day in his store trying to get him to do so. There is no way that the man did not see our message on the lock screen before he attempted to «back it up», I mean erase it. This company is knowingly buying stolen phones! Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do to press charges because he claimed «He didn’t see it» however I can warn you not to ever do business with this company as they assist in illegal activities. Please take your business else where!

Excellent Solavei service.
