Someone sold me a stolen iPhone, should I report him?

Depends on what you want to happen. Do you just want your money back, or do you want him to get in trouble? (or both) I personally would call the cops and explain the situation, maybe play dumb and see what they say. They might be able to get your money back and teach him a lesson.

I would call the cops say you are reporting that you were sold a stolen phone without your knowledge once you found out it was stolen you called to report it so you don't get in trouble for purchasing stolen property. Ask them if there is anything you can do on your end (becides providing this guys info) and ask if it's possible to get your money back. You will probably need some kind of proof of purchase.

A lot will depend on where you live and how much the cops actually care about this kind of stuff. I know here they would much rather bust underage drinking college parties than pay attendtion to the theft and vandalism going on. I hope this is somewhat helpful, good luck!
