Selling your old phone can land you in jail! Don’t make this mistake even by mistake; you will have to go to jail

Nowadays the trend of buying new smartphones has increased. Nowadays most people use their phones for one or two years and then buy a new phone. They either give the old phone to a friend or family member or sell it in the market. In some cases, at the time of selling, it is not known what the other person does and what all he can do with the phone. This can even land the seller in jail. Let us tell you what you need to do while selling or buying a phone, which you can avoid…

There could be jail

Suppose you sold your old smartphone to someone and that phone was used for some wrong purpose. It is possible that threatening messages were sent to someone from that phone or it was used in some big fraud. In such a case, the police will directly reach your home by tracking the IMEI number of that phone.

Because the phone is still registered in your name, the police can hold you guilty of this crime. Even if you have sold the phone and you do not have any legal evidence to prove that you have sold the phone, you will not be able to prove yourself innocent. In such a case, you may have to go to jail.

Make sure you have legal proof

Before selling your smartphone, it is very important to prepare a ‘Sale Agreement’ on a stamp paper. This document should clearly mention the complete details of both you and the buyer, the IMEI number of the phone, the model number, the date of sale and the mode of payment. This document will save you from any legal problems.

If you have legal proof then you don’t need to worry. If you don’t want to go to court, then make sure to get a seller buyer agreement.
