I think someone might have bought my 8TB 2020 iMac.

[Blinx]

I am the original owner of this 8TB, 10-core 2020 iMac, that was returned in December, and I think someone bought my returned iMac recently, because right now it is showing a new location on my iCloud account. (Since it is still connected to my returned iMac). I actually used this iMac for months before returning. (Currently discussing this with law enforcement and also with Apple.)



Here, is when I first bought this iMac.

A shipping investigation has started.

This is the refurb listing

Unless I'm mistaken, the Apple refurb store should have completely wiped the drive, therefore eliminating any trace to your iCloud account.

Either way, so what? Somebody bought the computer you returned! Alert the media!

The person who bought it is going to have a nasty surprise when they try to set it up if the firmware is still locked to the old iCloud account.

They'll be even more surprised if OP decides to do a remote wipe.

As someone who as purchased refurbed products in the past. I think the OP should contact Apple, apparently something is wrong here. Apple needs to be made aware that there is a problem with their return workflow.

Why didn’t you sign out of iCloud and wiped the Mac?

Remove it from your iCloud or contact Apple

Bad manner for trading-in service. (Of the OP).

Hmmm....something doesn't seem right....I would imagine Apple would make the device "like-new" before selling it again...not just open the box, look at it, close the box, then ship it to new customer lol. But I wouldn't know for sure either way
