The store in New York can confirm that someone matching your name purchased the phone. The store in Greece can confirm your identity. They can even speak to the store in NY.Apparently the 2 shops that i called said that they need a receipt. They can find a record of purchase at the store you purchased it from. I purchased it from New York. I called them and they said I have to be present in order for them to confirm my identity. It looks like a dead end for me guys..
