How do they know where they purchased it?
Imei
That might say where the phone is intended to be sold, not where they purchased. As I understood it, Motorola wants to ban foreign phones purchased in Mexico. How can they differentiate them from foreign phones purchased abroad?

When a phone is sold the unique number is submitted. This number is going to come from authorized dealer or an unauthorized dealer.
If a dealer in California submits that IME number, then they can differentiate that from a dealer in Mexico.
