Used phone blacklisted after 6 months.

Maybe the phone had been backing up to the cloud. She deleted all the stuff on the phone, which then downloaded all from the cloud? Who knows!
That's all kind of beyond me TBH but it sounds feasible, hence my edit of not selling one either.

I think you are a pretend fossil, and that in reality your living room is like Mission Control in Houston! :D

Except that it is connected via an acoustic coupler as broadband is non existent. Then again it didn't stop the interaction with WOPR :)

If she had wiped it properly it couldn't do that, both iOS and Android ensure you sign out when doing a full wipe. Once signed out it will not back up or restore to/from the cloud.
 
It would depend on the phone.
I once build two faulty Galaxy S2s into one good one for a friend. Even after a factory reset, there was a ton of data still lying around from the previous owners usage I had to manually clear out.
(I've heard the reset erasure improved considerably in later models.)
 
Anyway they swapped my phone no issues and gave me a 16gb one instead of my original 8gb as an apology. Still I wonder how often it happens and if they just take the loss.

Well that's good news and a 'happy' ending and glad to see they seem to have dealt with the issue well for you...
