Couldn't the fake offer the warranty too? It's not like it'll be sent back to them (after 30 days or so), but to Samsung for RMA.

    I don't really understand? Samsung will trivially be able to tell that it isn't theirs and decline the warranty. If they bother to check, of course, and if there are enough being RMA'd that is even worth the effort for them.

    Also I'm sure the fake Samsung already claim that same warranty, as they are being sold as originals who have the 5 year warranty. So what exactly are you asking for?

    The scammer with the fake can claim it has a 5 year Samsung warranty on their listing or whatever. They sell it and get paid. The purchaser who has no idea it's fake then attempts an RMA with Samsung which fails.

    The scammer still has the money, they don't need to care if it actually has a 5 year warranty but can say that it does if that SKU has it.
