I purchased back in May of this year a pair of what I assumed to be genuine Samsung Galaxy Buds+ from what appeared to be a reputable seller. They looked spot on in terms of construction and packaging. I did notice some performance issues here and there, but chalked it up to the fact that Bluetooth buds in general are finnicky.
Last week I went down a rabbit-hole in the Samsung forums for a another issue I was having, which got into the topic of counterfeits. To keep this short, I now know beyond a doubt that the Buds I have are fake. Even the serial number on the bottom of the packaging is a common copy that's used on the counterfeit boxes.
I reached out to the seller to voice my grief, but considering it's been 7-months, I'm definitely not expecting a response.
I paid $130 for these fakes. Is there anything at all I can do?
