The fact that it's insurance fraud.
Your old phone will also be bricked when registered as lost or stolen when the person you buy it off tries to turn it on.

it's based on the IMEI number of the phone, so yes!

it'll be blocked in the UK and Europe (i think the IMEI spreads to Europe as well?), but you could ship it off to africa/india etc where it should work....

great! So he wants you to comit fraud so he can have a new phone? What is he offering you considering it could go easily tits up (remember that insurance companies like to make sure you're not bullshitting, so they'll call you 6months or so down the line to re-confirm your story! They'll also keep an eye on the phone being used from the date/time you've reported it stolen/lost).

will, don't listen to everyone here.
I did this with my iphone 3gs.
Claimed got £600 and then gave it to my sister.
Basically you just need to jailbreak the phone first, then they can't brick it.

There's one thing everybody is forgetting here.
You'd need a couple of braincells to pull it off convincingly.
