This person purchased an iPhone 5S which my son got water damaged after went into the pool. We went to a repair shop locally after 5 days of submerge into rice and vacuum and was not able to power up. We were told that we need to replace the logic board which is much more expensive than the warranty from apple.

So, we've decided to sell the phone on eBay. Immediately after the listing (an hour to be exact), Irina Shabanova (eBay buyer: belochka_inc) purchased the iPhone from us. We then shipped the phone via USPS as it was shown on eBay. She got the iPhone on August 4, 2014 and immediately on August 5, 2014 filed a claim on eBay and Paypal to reversed the payment.

In the resolution center she claimed that my phone is iCloud locked which I removed from my account immediately. Then she said that this is a stolen phone, which I invited her to joined me on a conference call with Verizon Wireless and Apple to proof that we are the original and actual owner of this phone. She then did not respond for several days and said that she checked with Apple again stating that this is a stolen phone.

Just couple days later she escalated the matter to eBay saying that she did not want to waste her time to go on a conference call (which would of been 5 mins of her time) with me (but can wait 15 days) for eBay to reverse full refund to her.

Now, she is not even returning the iPhone to us. Hey if you said that it is stolen property, then receiving stolen property is a crime too. Why don't you return it to us. belochka_inc / Irina Shabanova, you are a SCAM artist!! You think I don't know what you are pulling!!!

This is what you are doing: Buying a water damaged iPhone on eBay fully knowing that Apple will not honor the full warranty. But instead turning it in for water damage warranty which would only cost you $275 then you've got a brand new iPhone for $275 instead of $600+ dollars like what law abiding citizen would pay for. Instead you SCAMMED me out of $325 and my son's iPhone. I hope KARMA would catch up with you soon. You are a dispicable scam artist that belongs in JAIL.

So people, when you are selling on eBay. Beware of this person. She is someone not to be trusted.
