H&M was easy for me. Ordered a few pairs of pants for around $130 and claimed DNA on live chat. Had me say I checked around my house, with neighbors, etc. Got the refund in chat.

Thanks for your help, I will proceed the same way as you did.

They're pretty relaxed with both methods, particularly via live chat.

Nope, brand new, signed up for it as I was checking out.

Registered the account In a few minutes, and received the refund In around the same duration.

It doesn't get much easier than that.

I had a fun fail today. Grabbed a Sonos SN off eBay to start a warranty claim but the live chat agent told me… that the SN had already been used for attempted returns several times in the last two days. Oops.

Lesson learned: only use serial numbers from very very recent eBay ads so you minimize the chances of them having already been used for SE…

It just goes to show the number of social engineers using the serial number method.

You've made an excellent point here:
Quote:only use serial numbers from very very recent eBay ads so you minimize the chances of them having already been used for SE

The same approach applies when using YouTube to get serials - always check when the video was uploaded.
