I bought an apple product from 3rd party lazada store, when I received the item, I checked it with Apple's website https://checkcoverage.apple.com/ and it shows that my device is under warranty until like august 2022

Today, I randomly check my device warranty and it suddenly shows that it has expired.

Anyone experience something like this before?

I've contacted lazada to attempt to solve the issue but still I'm wondering how a device with warranty can suddenly changed to no warranty.

Which seller you bought from?
Can screenshot your lazada purchase?
Sealed box product will not have expire date 2 months before you connect to the device.
Most probably recycled serial number being used.
101% the APP you have purchased is fake.
Use a MacBook to check on the manufacturer whether it’s Apple or other brand before going to switch.

Beware switch will charge service fee if the item you send in is fake no matter you know or do not know whether it fake.

Please refer to the post below :
The lazada seller also disappear already….

ok damn mine is also Ericsson instead of Apple so I guess it's confirmed that mine is a fake?

Manufacturer should be Apple….
I do not think Ericsson manufacture AAP for Apple…

Fight for refund from lazada, and if fail, report to consumer tribunal…

Good luck…hope you can get the refund from lazada as lazada should know that the seller sells fake product or else lazada would not have unlist the seller…

It was written genuine and original in his ad, but under specification, it was written as 'no brand' though..not sure how lazada will deal with these..

Not easy for Lazada to filter the fakes one as there are too many accounts and products….

good tactic for the conman/seller to bait price conscious/ inexperienced buyer….

- buyer received item and check have warranty on Apple website
- buyer satisfied
- one week later, lazada release payment to seller
- by the time the first buyer realise it’s a fake product months later, the seller does not mind lazada closing their account as the conman can just easily register another new account again..

True that its easy for scammers to open new accounts.. Still I don't get how  these fake units have valid warranty at first, then a week later say warranty not recognised??
*
These is only my opinion and what I think happens….
Valid warranty :
- The factory purchased one unit of the original Apple AirPods Pro
- the factory uses the original serial number from the Apple AirPods Pro on the fake AirPods pro and produce 1000 units
- the factory passed to seller to sell those fake AirPods pro on 1/1/2022
- seller manage to sell 1st unit on 7/1/2022
- 1st buyer received on 10/1/2022 and activated the warranty on 10/1/2022
- seller continue to sell the remaining units
- another buyer buy on 01/02/2022, this buyer receive the item on 03/02/2021, open the item and check warranty actually starts on 10/1/2021

Warranty not recognised :
01/04/2022, block serial number of that AAP because Apple have detected same serial number AAP being attached to so many iPhones or MacBook or iPad and that might have trigger the red flag and Apple system immediately stop the particular AAP serial number warranty.
The actual real unit might also being red flag as it might be at the factory that produce these fake AAP.

Above is only my opinion.

it’s easy to create new account for new scams, lazada really shouldn’t allow these, what’s the point closing their account if they keep opening new ones mad.gif

it's beyond their control because conman can create and setup new company easily....

They could if they want, I mean you can’t stop them entirely but at least reduce as much…like detect ip to further clamp down these syndicates etc dry.gif

they make online purchase so uncomfortable now that we need to think extra hard before checking out the order..especially big purchases..

just scanned lazada of AAP and there are still 5 more of this seller still active....reported them and see how fast lazada will closed their account....

congrats you're right  thumbup.gif
i have to play with them with caution as i might accidentally swap the real pods with the fake ones as they really look the same unlike the ones i saw in youtube videos where there are noticeable difference
haven't try switching their place yet  sweat.gif

Update: I haven't got my money back yet but lazada has agreed to issue refund after I reported them to KPDNHEP, lazada informed me to send back the fake airpods to the seller, i gave them prove that i've return the item and they emailed me that my refund will be processed upto 15 working days.

Wow, at last, glad to hear that you have managed to win the battle. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Get ready for 12.12 to buy from Malaysia authorised apple reseller if you have not purchase it yet......

I will be waiting for beats fit pro instead because I hate the battle scars on my AirPods Pro which likes to fall off from my ear to the ground..... biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
