Verizon has no way to confirm the phone was purchased if this was done outside their own 2 year agreements.
Verizon actually has no control on this, your phone had to have been reported to be blacklisted. Owner of the account can claim the phone was stolen and also has the same authority to get the phone off the blacklist.

You got ripped off. The โguy at workโ either does this all the time, or maybe filed an insurance claim to make a little profit. This is between you and him, and not the carrier. Itโs also fraud if you want to file a police report. But I donโt suppose you have any bill of sale do you

Go back to your work and get your money back. If he waffles tell him you will report it to the police and your boss. Chances are you will get you money back, just to save his job and stay out of jail.
