Update on this situation:
My refunder contacted apple. And they respond by saying basically that they thought i tried to purchase mac and the payment didnt go through. So the specialist said that we will let your payment go through if you pay for the previous mac basically. But i never made the purchase or tried to buy someothing from apple. So the apple chat lady was like just ignore that email. You dont owe use anything. Thanks.
SO WE GUCCI!

I am confused about the swap part and how it got back to you without any proof.
Happened to my friend. He ordered MacBook 12 last year, refund well good, got his money, using it almost every day. Then he decided to order Apple Watch and pay for it (No refund )and he gets email from Apple, saying that:
So they locked his Apple ID, so he decided to call them, they send him to investigation team and they told that you had "issues" with delivery and Apple refunded you full amount, but you are using "lost" device, so 2 options, we bill your CC or we send you UPS return label for it.
So he just returned it and got his Apple ID unblocked.
Just be careful, don't use same Apple ID. He was stupid and payed for it
Yeah. He used same apple id. Which flagged it
So what's the best practice then? Use your real Apple ID for the refund, but then create a new Apple ID when the MacBook comes in?
How can you share purchases and stuff, is it safe to add family sharing for the new ID?
Just don't put money in that bank account and just don't reply, they wont do anything
sell the macbook on ebay and buy one legit, this all can be easily avoided. People are being too lazy
Yes, refunded Macbook and ordered Apple watch after on same Apple ID. They told him, you been using MacBook which "you never received"
how would apple even find that out, that is crazy bro
