I just got scammed by someone in this forum called „DHL“. On telegram he named himself exodus & exodus.media. He deleted his acc and probably is swapping through different accs.

Now I have two MacBooks at home, not opened, delivered yesterday. I ordered them directly at Apple.

Is there any chance of a successful refund?

Don't do something you're if you yourself aren't even going to try it.

I‘m not sure which method, which angle, what the risk is - because I am not experienced. Of course I would learn more and become better at this if I tried out more but I don‘t want to make a dumb mistake or choose the wrong method. That‘s why I ask.

I bought the items as a guest. So hopefully my apple id etc. is not at risk here. But still I wonder which method has a good success rate when DNA is no option for 2 MacBooks or just one.

They were delivered in 2 separate parcels. So PEB is no option I guess.

I wonder what happens if I go for EB and tell
them there‘s no MacBook inside the MacBook Box or that there‘s no MacBook Box inside the parcel. Not sure if they blacklist or trace them…

There wouldn't be a blacklist as it can't connect to cellular service. Your apple ID wouldn't be banned even if you used them on your apple ID. I know APPLE usually denies DNA request based on tracking information. EB would be too heavy for a MB because of the weight.

Your best bet would be to DNA it.
