Hi there,
so I recently bought an iPhone 15 from a guy on OfferUp. Everything looked legit at the time of purchase I checked the imei and the serial it was all valid, after I got the phone and finished setting it up I found out it was blacklisted!! This is very unfortunate as I really needed this phone to work, took me awhile to save and buy it. Next day I called the police and they said to try contacting Verizon as there was nothing they could do, I really hope someone can help out. The seller also deleted theyโre account too so there was no way I can contact them

I don't use that site, but have you tried to contact OfferUp directly to see if they've got some way to refund your money? Unfortunately, this is a common problem with buying phones from 3rd party sites. If OfferUp doesn't have any means of refunding you and the seller deleted their account, then you're out of luck.
I'm not a Verizon employee, just another customer trying to help.
