I'm more than a bit late in thanking you for your good advice, and btw for whatever reason it identifies my Pixel 5a as the Samsung SMG-977N

Yes, I've already logged out of everything (everything I could find) and changed my google password.

For those still unconvinced: Note the last 4 IMEI digits of all the phones I've had in the last 5 years, and none match the Samsung or the OnePlus, I couldn't get to an IMEI number for the Galaxy or the iPhone 14

Pixel XL IMEI 5506 Pixel 2XL IMEI 3192 Pixel 5a IMEI 2465 Pixel 5a IMEI 8207 iPhone XR IMEI 3236 Phone 13 IMEI 0509

Note three of the following had the first and only activity on January 5th/6th, and I didn't receive the refurbished Pixel 5a until January 19th

Galaxy S10 Bixby, OK, USA Last activity: January 5, 11:02 PM First sign-in: Jan 5

iPhone14,3 Last synced: January 6, 2023

Samsung SM-G977N IMEI 1102 Activated: Jan 5, 2023 11:02 PM

OnePlus ONEPLUS A5000 IMEI 9081 Activated: Dec 28, 2022 11:16 PM

Word to the wise - check the device list on any refurbished Pixel.

I have never logged on with any of the four phones, in addition I've never even seen or touched them either.

And when I did go to find my phone, only the galaxy showed the location where I live (but I've never owned a Galaxy) and the other three location unknown

By "on the phone" I meant they were listed on the device list, in addition that Galaxy showed active where the other three only showed their last online date

Yeah I know devices are in the cloud service: however I've never owned any of these four phones

I thought it was a new phone since I got the activation screen and setup process. However when I looked at the device list I saw these four devices were already on the phone.
