How Trust Lens Works
How Trust Lens verifies devices and sellers through automated IMEI checks
Verification Steps
Step 1
List Your Device
Create a listing with your device details, photos, and IMEI number. You select the condition grade (A/B/C) based on the device's cosmetic and functional state.
- Enter device brand, model, and description
- Upload photos from multiple angles
- Select condition grade: A (Excellent), B (Good), or C (Fair)
- Provide your IMEI by dialling *#06# on the device
Step 2
Automated IMEI Verification
Our Trust Lens system automatically runs your IMEI against global databases in seconds to check for issues.
- GSMA blacklist check
- Stolen device database cross-reference
- Carrier blacklist verification
- iCloud / Find My lock status (Apple devices)
- IMEI format and validity check
Step 3
Instant or Admin Review
If the IMEI is clean, your listing goes live automatically and your seller profile is marked Verified. If any check flags an issue, the listing is queued for manual admin review.
- Clean IMEI: listing goes live instantly
- Flagged IMEI: routed to admin Verification Queue
- Admin approves or rejects based on check results
- Once verified, your seller status carries forward
Step 4
Evidence & Dispute Protection
All uploaded photos are timestamped and stored securely. If a dispute arises after sale, the evidence pack provides a verifiable record of the device's condition at listing time.
- Timestamped photos stored in secure object storage
- Evidence pack available to buyer, seller, and admin
- Used for dispute resolution if device condition is questioned
- Helps build buyer confidence and reduces return disputes
