Serial number validation does mean anything, even if the warranty is still valid. What scammers do is to use a legitimate serial number and copy it on 10s or 100s or more devices. What often happens (happened to me as well) is that some function on your AirPods is not working properly (modes, microphone, charging, you name it), and you take it to the Apple store to fix it, and when they run it through their system, they can see multiple (in my case hundreds of) service requests under that serial number.

In these cases, useful features like Night Shift and Face ID may not work.
