Which one of you scammed Amazon out of $1500?
Somebody bought a MSI 5080 water cooled GPU off of Amazon.
and they returned a cheapo $100 Aisurix GPU (580) and got their money back and kept the 5080 water cooled. Which one of you was it? You are my hero.

Here they are trying to sell it at a Amazon returns online auction (look at pictures)

If Amazon is that dumb, they reap what they sow.

the box has the serial number, im sure amazon knows who returned it
id bet whoever it was is banned from amazon, imho that could be worse punishment than banned from almost anything else

This isn't new. It unfortunately happens enough.

I wonder if it's potentially cheaper for them to eat the cost on these frauds than it would be for them to implement workers or some other means to minimize it. Which is sad.

Problem. Is, they don't often check stuff as it comes in, and beyond that point, hundreds could of seen the box and tampered with it.

The reason not to do it is if they do check your box...

Either way, this is straight up theft and is very scummy behaviour.

people were doing that with cpus at one point
buy a ryzen return an athlon/phenom

youd think amazon would do some kind of checking on the returns
but at the cost of prime and stuff would cover loss
