As another point of reference, I know lots of other people have been successfully getting GoPro's without consequence.

I used to avoid giving POP and SN, but it's much easier if you just fake POP and give a SN. Most SE's will fail without them. FTID is just another method to continue the SE. I don't think the fact that he used these in particular are bad. I mean, I guess with every SE there is always risk of getting in trouble/ raising suspicion.

tbf, I'm pretty sure most people use their real info when using FTID. Most people don't get into any "danger." While I agree it isn't very smart to use real info when doing anything illegal, I don't think OP is in particular "danger." He just has to SE his way out of any potential trouble if FTID fails.

Did you purchase the Item, and then used the FTID?

Also, what was your last conversation with them, and where does your SE currently stand?

You're right, by danger I meant that there is chance of it; not that they're in it; apologies. However, I still highly advise ensuring that in the future, you make sure that your opsec for a SE is very high because then you don't have to worry about anything.

I didn't buy any GoPro myself, I just hit up some guy on a website like craigslist we have in my country and made up some shit to convince him to send me a photo of SN and receipt. I then used those things to get an RMA from GoPro (not an AR). They sent me a prepaid label, saying they would send me a new GoPro after they receive the broken one. I then FTID them and now I would just have to wait until it supposedly gets there to chat with their support in order to ask for the replacement. I still have the option to just not hit the support since the FTID doesn't link me in anyway.

Yup, totally agree. Always better to be on the safe side.

As with all things, you learn as you go. Don't fret too much OP.
