    Device Blacklisting

    Our shared blacklist. the largest stolen device database. makes reported devices visible to all vendors and buyers globally. Anyone can report a stolen device, no account needed.

    How Blacklisting Works

    Report a Stolen Device

    When a device is stolen or goes missing, report it to the blacklist. Vendors report from their account; the public can report without an account.

    Platform-Wide Visibility

    The device's IMEI or serial number becomes visible across the entire Guardget network. the largest database of its kind. preventing resale anywhere.

    Reporter Identity Protected

    Only the blacklist status is visible. The identity of the person who reported the device remains confidential to protect their privacy.

    Controlled Resolution

    Only the vendor who reported the device or a Guardget administrator can resolve the blacklist entry, ensuring integrity. Public reports are reviewed by admins before full blacklisting.

    Verification Results

    When you verify a device, you'll see one of two results:

    Clear

    This device has not been reported as stolen or missing. Safe to purchase.

    Blacklisted

    This device has been reported as stolen or missing. Do not purchase.
