Another poor soul got scammed on Amazon: a brick wrapped in a towel instead of an MSI RTX 5090.

Another Victim Scammed on Amazon: A Brick in a Towel Instead of an MSI RTX 5090

A buyer on Amazon ordered an MSI RTX 5090 graphics card for $3000 but received a brick wrapped in a towel inside the box. The card was purchased from the section for returned items, which the platform claims are inspected. This is not the first such case amid the shortage and high prices of new graphics cards. Previously, it was reported that buyers received rice or trash instead of components. Experts attribute this to fraud and advise exercising extra caution when purchasing expensive electronics online.
