Recently, a gamer found themselves ensnared in a scam while attempting to buy an ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5080 OC 16GB graphics card on Amazon. Upon receiving the package, the gamer quickly noticed something was amiss: the graphics card came equipped with just a single 8-pin power connector, starkly contrasting with the genuine model's 16-pin connector. Further investigation revealed the unsettling truth – the graphics card was, in fact, a disguised RTX 5060 Ti. The fraudster had deceptively removed the original label and replaced it with a counterfeit RTX 5080 sticker. Such fraudulent schemes capitalize on loopholes in the return supervision systems of e-commerce platforms, enabling scammers to pass off low-end graphics cards as high-end models.
