Many of these then find their way onto online marketplaces where they are sold to unwitting customers who are unaware of the phone's provenance. As many as 52 percents of adults in Singapore have suffered from the loss or theft of their mobile phones, according to a survey, conducted by the Norton division of Symantec, the world’s largest security software provider. Mobile phones are the primary targets of choice for many robbers and thieves.
Not only they risked having the phone be potentially locked with a password, rendering it useless, or worse it could get them in trouble with the law. However, most buyers based on 'trust' of the seller and do not perform checks if the phone they are purchasing has been stolen or lost. The transaction often takes place during meet up, when the physical item is handed over. It is common for Singaporean to buy used mobile phones over an online marketplace platform.
