And stll..how will they connect this particular SSD with me? I mean if they resell it after my return. Because they get from the manufacturer pallets with goods with the same ASIN all of them. And when this item is shipped they only scan the asin, not the SN. I don‘t think it‘s possible to connect this item with me if it was reselled.
Well, they must have a way since it IS true. Fact is that they know. Maybe you slipped up on the last one or they've tagged your account which is why they checked your returns. They must have suspected you for some reason and this was to verify whether it's true or not.
Out of interest have you spoke to an Amazon rep to complain about it? I mean if you were legitimately returning and item and they accused you, you'd throw a fit in reality. I would, I'm not paying for something I returned! Lol!
I'd say it's risky as you did SE them but it might mean that you'll find out how they knew?
Maybe try being a pissed off parent who has no idea what their child gets up to or something.

This sounds very unlikely.
What It sounds like and what can actually happen, Is completely different.
It certainly Is possible.

Not true In It's entirety. A couple of members have experienced It.

This product has a serial number that uniquely identifies the item. When your order ships, Amazon will scan the serial number and add it to the history of this order.

Yes I agree for some items, but not for SSDs.

You're correct.
I've yet to come across It on SSDs.
