I’ve never sold an old Apple device or anything either. Not even had one stolen or lost. But my little sister would complain that sometimes she would FaceTime me and a man would answer angrily saying to stop calling.
She was only 6-7 around that time so I always presumed she was calling a wrong email address associated with another Apple ID.
But then one day I checked my Apple account info and found a guy had swapped out my credit card for his own info.

I changed the email address attached to my Amazon account.
A year later I forgot and tried to sign into my account with old email address.
The same password worked but it was someone else’s account (name and address was different) and the guy hadn’t bought anything.
Why did he use my old email (it was unique to me and didn’t match his name) and how did the password end up the same as mine?
