--- Quote from: janoc on August 21, 2023, 02:23:30 pm ---It is unlikely a manufacturer would know whether or not a scope was stolen - when equipment is stolen one reports it to the police/insurance, not to the manufacturers, at least unless it is a very expensive piece of gear with a leasing/support contract or something like that. So they would only know who they have sold it originally to and/or who has contacted them for eventual service afterwards. They would have no information about an eventual further sale/decommissioning (or theft) beyond that point. However, even that is not an information they would be able to share with you, for both business and legal reasons. If you have doubts about the scope, walk away. It is that simple. It is not like a Siglent scope is some rare unobtanium piece of gear worth the risk. --- End quote --- They wouldn't even necessarily know who it was sold to originally (other than perhaps a distributor), unless you bought it directly from them. Otherwise it would require warranty registration or some other contact by the buyer to make any connection back to a buyer. Then if it changed hands even once after that, it's even more likely the manufacturer would have no idea who the last legitimate owner was. |

So i quit. I don't like liars when doing business. Money in my pocket :-+ |
