Hey Melanie,
Depending on where you've bought the device from, you may be able to ask the vendor to provide more information regarding this.
I wouldn't trust a third party website though, as you cannot know which method they're using to validate your OS. It's also worth reaching out to the third party website you're trying to use and ask them about this, they may have a better answer for you.
