Verizon ESN/MEID problem with new phone?

I just signed up with Verizon. I purchased a used phone from a girl and when I called in I was told by a service representative that the phone is labled "lost/stolen", so I cannot activate it. I contacted the girl that sold me the phone and she said that she had lost it and had reported it. After buying a new phone she found the old phone. So she sold her old phone to me. She won't call Verizon to have the phone unlocked from the lost/stolen list. Is there a way to clear the ESN/MEID status so I can use the phone?

Anyone reading this work for Verizon and willing to help me get this phone off the "black list" so I can use this phone?

Phone that's reported lost or stolen

Nope, the phone is useless, same thing happened to me!

Help

I have recently bought a phone off ebay but the MEID HEX is blacklisted.
So I can not activate it with verizon. Is there any way I can do something to let me activate it?

Looks like the same thing happened to me. I just bought one from Ebay and Verizon will not accept it when I enter the esn. Looks like I got burned on Ebay.

same thing happened to me

same thing happened to me.. they should deff do something about this, its not our faults if we get scammed...this blows!!!
mine was off craigslist tho, and the guy didnt ever reply to my emails,and he just pretty much screwed me over! =[

Ditto.. F#$%ing jerks.. now i am $60 in the whole...

Same thing just happened to me - but I bought mine through a cell phone repair store that sells used phones!!! Verizon should be able to do something about this. but they refuse to.
