If you prepared the phone properly for resale, including turning off Find My, you will not be able to track the phone, or to brick it that way.

You could still report the incident to the police and your carrier, and ask your carrier to blacklist the phone.

The phone is an iPhone 17. I wanted to sell it to someone, and they tricked me. The phone was sent by courier but they didn't give me the money.

The thing is that the phone was bought in England, I haven't contacted the operator yet. The phone was sold in Romania. Does the operator block access only for England?
