Can someone run me through the best way to surely check a set of used AirPod Pro etc is not fake?

Something (screenshot) that can prove to Shopee/Carousell and get money back one.

I am already avoiding shops that sell refurbished unit which are clearly fake.

I am looking at individual sellers but I think some of these previously refurbished unit are leaking into individual sellers already.

Thanks.

So the case serial number matches the case serial. Like this should be legit right?

This for for AirPod pro 2. Can the individual earpiece serial number be checked?

After asking several Carousell seller to send some info regarding the Airpods they're selling, I have noticed that the fake units currently ALSO CAN send location information to Find My! (This was one of the ways suggested by one site to test). Why I know this was a fake unit -> because these 2 units share the same serial number coming from 2 different sellers! LOL

The rest of the info like checking the SN in the app is well known can be done by fake units (They will match the one on the airpod pro case).

So at the moment, I still need to find a more sure proof way to check this.

I can confirm that even the individual fake AirPod Pro 2 serial number can show up in the App and how in Find My .....


So these fakers are getting really good.

Anyone want me to list this SN that is "valid" but fake ?
