Are these AirPods fake?

Want to buy a new airpods pro 2, the seller send me an image looks like the serial number is ok and even has apple care+ but the model here is mlwk3zm/a and this number from 1st gen, right? So it's fake or not? And one airpod has number A2931 wich is also strange, cause on the box there are A2698 A2699.

Hi testerBor, welcome to the Apple community

I hope you are doing well 🤗


I think it's Fake Airpods. On the AirPods Pro and more recent model, the serial number must be different between the case and the two AirPods. There must be three different serial numbers. But on the picture that the seller has provided you with, the serial number of the case corresponds to the serial number of AirPods, so it's not good.
