my serial number

When I put in my serial number for my MacBook Pro,, I get a message that that serial number is for a different product. I tried 3 times, with the same message.

Apple does not use Letter O for this reason in their Serial Numbers, you can see this in plain txt


Not to say there is not an error—it is known to happen
