Purchase from a reputable seller. You’ve (unfortunately) just made it easier to “steal” (copy) this serial number, and to fool somebody else that (also) (erroneously) believes that serial numbers can’t be copied, and are proof against counterfeits. Serial numbers are useful, but are not proof against counterfeit products.
