Also, why is everyone assuming that the benevolent Amazon has given the theft victim a new kindle? Is theft replacement standard in all manufactures warranties now? |
Again, hindsight is 20/20. What should he have asked? Is he supposed to check for id to verify the seller is giving correct contact info? I guess maybe, I never have and likely never will.
Short of unpacking the kindle and trying to register it at time of sale, not sure how you can know it is legit.
Anyways, whether the OP is the scammee or otherwise, all I am saying is there are legit reasons why someone would sell a NIB kindle and this deal wasn't that good to make one automatically think something is up.
