hi im im looking for an iphone and fortunately i found and ad here in qatar living selling an iphone, but this is my question, i asked the persopn selling the the iphone if he has the proof of purchase, i just wanted to make sure that the iphone is not stolen, just in case it was stolen and i bought it but i didnt know that it was stolen

will i be held redponsible for the stolen phone??

are they able to track dowb stolen iphones here in qatar?

is it safe to buy 2nd hand iphones especially if you dont know the person selling it and you have no idea where the phone came from aside from wahe he said that it was his?

any suggestions or comments??

the phone is at best price anyway..
