2. Contacting Logitech:
The best method for contacting them is live chat. Emailing them is extremely
counterintuitive and calling them has never really worked for me.
Note: I have never tried SEing a webcam from Logitech so I can not help you. I know
for expensive items they will make you ship it in just a disclaimer.

TL;DR:
Get Serial Number, Live Chat, Free Item.
Recommend to open a few tickets on the same product to have the best chance of
succeeding.
4. Say you got the product as a gift or make a fake POP through Photoshop.
5. Then they will ask for a Photo/Video of the serial number along with a photo of
the product with a piece of paper next to it with the case number written down on
it.
This is where you'll need to do some Photoshopping, find a photo online and do your
Photoshop magic that way, Or you can contact me and i will Photoshop it for you.
5. Once you've sent them the photo/video, these are the potential outcomes. What
you sent them was good and they will ask for you address in order to send the
replacement to.
They are suspicious with what you provided and they will ask for a POD (Proof Of
Destruction) which is a video where you destroy the product while filming it.
* Note:
This is for educational purposes only. I am not responsible for anything that
happens to you otherwise. I may help you in the process of SE'ing Logitech, but
responsibility will be on you - the social engineer- if anything were to happen
General Rules
1. Preferably try to SE a product that is under 100$. This is because, often, the
company will not try to get you to ship it back due to the low cost. With that
said, it is possible to SE anything above but will be much harder.
2. This is from my personal examples of SE'ing, but I've had the most success when
the representative was female. Don't know if it was a coincidence or if it's
something well noting.
3. Try to call them rather than doing the chat.
4. Always be polite while talking to them. The last person you want to aggravate is
the person whom you're trying to SE.
2. Calling them up
For US this is the number (1 (646) 454-3200))
4. Troubleshooting
This is where the rep's going to ask you if you've troubleshooted.
Just say "yes, I've tried that but it still does not work" to each of his
questions.
What to do when you're dealt with situation 1. You can do either of 3 things
1. Box them
2. Make a creative reason on why you can't send it back. If you are going
to use this reason, be careful with the "blood" excuse. I know some companies -
such as EVGA- will consider the product stained with blood as a
bio-hazard and will not accept the product while not sending a refund
or RMA. One excuse I've used is "I'm part of a semi-professional gaming team and
really need to use this (product) all the time. Thus, I can't send it back"
3. Repeat step 3. This might be a pain, but if you keep calling, a Rep's
going to eventually send the product without asking you to send in the product. For
me personally, it took 3 tries to get them to send me the mouse (G903)
If you get scenario 2 in response, great! You got your free product!
Thanks for reading, and feel free to post any questions or suggestions!
Okay so like everyone knows how to do it, or should. If you don't, your probably
new to SEing, so welcome.
You can call or email. I usually call, it's easier and I just prefer it.
If you email, say something along the lines of: " good afternoon, about 4 to 5
months ago I purchased *product name*. It was working perfectly fine until
recently. For some reason *insert your Googled reason here*. I'm an avid Logitech
user and this is completely out of the blue for Logitech. I hope you can help me
out. Yours sincerely *insert your name (can be fake)*
If you call say the exact same thing but reworked to fit the call.
Follow their troubleshooting methods and say there not working. If you get asked
for a reciept, make an Amazon reciept. Make sure it's 4+ months ago you bought the
item your trying to se. Last time I checked this makes the order number in
checkable.
8-9 times out of 10 this will work, if it doesn't work then just try again.
READ: Logitech has been raped. They are getting smarter and are now asking for
proof of destruction. If they ask for this, they may not ask all the time. You can
either buy a P.O.D off of a photoshopper or quit and try again. Normally when I
email them I create an account on the Logitech website and register the product and
wait 2 hours-ish to allow for 'troubleshooting' and then start the warranty claim
process.
