Warning – Counterfeit Goods Sold as Refurbished

Fraud fraud fraud

I purchased a set of “refurbished” AirPods (2nd generation) from Pristine Gadgets. When they arrived, they were in a brand-new, factory-sealed Apple box, which immediately raised concerns as refurbished items should not be sealed as new.


From first use, there were faults, including:


  • Crackling/static noise in both AirPods
  • The double-tap feature did not work


I contacted Pristine Gadgets and spoke to Scott, who advised me to reset the AirPods. This did not fix the issues. As the AirPods were supposedly under warranty, I booked an Apple Genius Bar appointment, which cost me over 2 hours of my time plus £8 in parking.


Apple confirmed that the AirPods were counterfeit, and that the serial number had been cloned. I have written confirmation from Apple, which I provided to Pristine Gadgets along with proof of my appointment.


Despite this, I was offered only a 30% discount to keep the counterfeit item, which I refused. Selling fake goods with cloned serial numbers is unacceptable. I was also misled about the authenticity, costing me both time and money.


After further chasing, I returned the items and was promised a refund of my postage costs, which never happened. I also received no compensation for the parking costs incurred due to their false claims.


This company:


  • Sold counterfeit Apple products
  • Used cloned serial numbers
  • Misrepresented items as genuine
  • Failed to honour refund promises
  • Ignored follow-up communication


I have now reported this matter to Trading Standards. I strongly advise others to avoid this website. I have attached photos and Apple’s confirmation as evidence.
