You are absolutely correct to be concerned. Even with Adorama's 30+ years and relatively high regard in the business, I still respond to at least 3 or 4 forum or blog postings every week querying whether Adorama actually refurbishes the items we sell. We don't - and when the customer receives his or her order, the little gold sticker on the bottom is verification of that.
It is the manufacturers of the items themselves who have brought in this requirement, out of concern that some retailers might not be completely transparent in stating that the warranty is through the retailer, rather than the manufacturer.
