Scared of getting caught by UE, help - AttackHelicopter - 08-24-2018
Hello,
I have managed to get a replacement from UE, the Megablast to be precise.
I took a S/N from a eBay seller who had a serial number on the pictures of the item, but it was after that I realized that I can't give them a good enough excuse for giving a wrong serial number, since the serial number combination are far from similar for a certain model of UE.
Surprisingly, they accepted the replacement request and marked my supposed return product as received, I had the belief that they wouldn't accept the replacement request since the serial number was pretty public from a known eBay seller.
Now to the biggest part, I believe that the owner or some other SE'er will do a warranty request on the product and give the same serial number and thus making my situation bad. Is there any guarantee that I will be fine if they accepted to ship out a replacement with a well known S/N? What happen to me if UE notice many users and the owner use the same serial number for a replacement?
Please I'm very worried and on the brink to cancel the replacement. Thank you.

Did you use your real address in the shipping information?

Why did you not just use an amazon receipt instead?

As mentioned above, pertaining to this:

I'll rephrase my question. What gives you the Impression that the owner or some SE'r will In fact do a warranty claim?

Because there’s methods out there for SE’ers to use a serial number when doing a request for replacement of the product. Many well known forums and discord servers are sharing a method for UE. Moreover, the owner may do a warranty claim longer down the line when it becomes defective and what happen when the owner show a valid receipt/invoice of the package? Or many se’ers use the same serial number? Wouldn’t that ring any bells on the company?

Because I didn’t have to send in anything, or do you mean that the receipt would compensate for a serial number?
I didn’t think of that at the time, since I was 2 weeks into my SE’ing when I did UE and had between small to none experience.

I understand how It works. I've been In the scene for 25+ years.
I'm more so referring to why you're questioning the (long shot) probability of a given user submitting a claim against a serial. It may or may not happen- the likely hood being the latter. When you SE, try not to overthink It. Take It for what It Is at the time, rather than drawing conclusions that may never eventuate.
