CheckMEND

Avoid lost, stolen or compromised mobile devices

As the most comprehensive device history check available, CheckMEND protects your reputation and profits.

Every time you encounter consumer electronics you are at risk of theft or fraud. Identifying and avoiding those risks are key issues for many organizations including; recyclers, insurers, service providers, retailers, logistics and finance companies, repair shops, warranty providers, and law enforcement.

CheckMEND is answering these questions

• Could this device be in the wrong hands?
• Am I am going to be subject to fraud, or handle stolen goods?
• Could I overpay for this device?

CheckMEND answers these questions for phones, laptops, tablets, GPS, games consoles and all manner of serial numbered devices.

Unrivalled data sources

CheckMEND provides unrivalled access to the world's most comprehensive database of loss and theft reports, insurance claims and other records affecting legal title of devices.

Mobile devices are a massive part of the consumer electronics space so we check IMEI loss and theft reports from over 95 network operators globally. CDMA devices remain a large part of the US market so we check CDMA ESNs at the same time.

We check police crime reports from law enforcement agencies in the USA and the UK.

Insurers retain title to devices when they settle a claim, and lease purchase and network operator contracts also impact legal title so we check those as well.

Status change monitoring

For many users who are handling large volumes in a fast-moving environment the status of a device as shown by CheckMEND can change during the period they hold it. This is especially the case if a theft takes time to report to police or a carrier is slow in effecting a service block.

So we have introduced a supplemental service to CheckMEND which indicates when the status of a device that has previously been shown as “green” turns “red”. This is especially valuable to recyclers and reverse logistics providers so they can:

• Potentially recover cash paid for devices;
• Avoid spending time on refurbishment or repair of compromised devices; and
• Not sell these compromised devices on to third parties for whom they may not work.

Working with CheckMEND, we have further enhanced our process, and we are already reaping the benefits of the service in our stores and our state of the art refurbishment center.
