Cliente Amazon riceve una RTX 5060 Ti spacciata per RTX 5080

Fraudulent Graphics Card Swap on Amazon

An Amazon customer has fallen victim to a scam involving "commingling". Instead of receiving the ordered Asus Prime RTX 5080 graphics card, they received an RTX 5060 Ti, cleverly disguised with fake labels.

Details of the Deception

The buyer immediately noticed the incongruity: the RTX 5060 Ti has an 8-pin power connector, while Nvidia's 80-class cards have used 16-pin connectors for a while now. This detail immediately exposed the replacement.

Incidents like this raise questions about quality control in the return and refurbishment processes of electronic products sold through marketplaces.

Key Takeaway

An Amazon customer was scammed: instead of an RTX 5080 graphics card, they received a relabelled RTX 5060 Ti. The package was sold and shipped by Amazon, suggesting a possible return switcheroo. The deception was spotted due to the 8-pin power connector, typical of lower-end cards, instead of the 16-pin connector of the RTX 5080.
