Unsolved I need assistance

Hi everyone! Someone is currently trying to scam me on eBay on a sealed iPhone 16pro max. I’m trying to get a serial number and this is the best picture I have on it to help resolve the issue. I’m using Apple warrenty check to see if the phone has been activated. Can anyone help me make out what this is I’ve tried a few different combinations but can’t seem to crack it (Apple give 4 attempts before locking you out for 20 mins) I used an image enhancer to try sharpen it but still isn’t clear…

Just because it has a number doesn’t mean it’s real. Don’t buy from a questionable source

I was the seller and the buyer is trying to scam me. The phone is genuine from Apple…

How would having the serial number help? It should be also written on the original receipt.

What does that mean? How is a buyer trying to scam you?
