Amazon return scam victim receives junk instead of RTX 5070

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A PC builder received a scam package from Amazon instead of the RTX 5070 graphics card they ordered. The box, which weighed the same as the actual GPU, contained a DVD rewriter, a mousepad, and a broken logic board from an old Kenwood AV receiver. This incident highlights a common Amazon return scam where fraudulent customers swap legitimate products with junk, return the package, and receive a refund, with the fraudulent item then being resold.
