OK, time for some sanity and truth here.
There is no reason to conceal any of the phone's serial numbers - as some more sensible members have pointed out, the buyer needs them to activate the phone. All they indicate is the phone's electronic ID so it can be linked to the correct phone number during activation. Defacing them says to any potential buyer "Stolen Phone" and you won't get the sale.
All you need to do to protect your information is go login to your provider's BIS configuration website, and either do a change to your new device, or delete the email entries and remove the PIN/serial number. If you don't have a new phone to take its place, you might need to have your provider release them from your account. Then WIPE the phone either from Desktop Manager, or by setting a password, lock the phone and get the password wrong until it wipes. Default is 10 fails but you can go down to 3. All info is now Gone, factory condition restored.
