Unlucky customer buys RTX 5080, receives relabelled RTX 5060 Ti in the box instead — GPU was sold and shipped by Amazon, hinting at return switcheroo

An Amazon customer who ordered an RTX 5080 received a relabeled RTX 5060 Ti inside the box, indicating a potential return switcheroo scam. The swapped GPU had 8-pin PCIe connectors, a feature not found in higher-end models like the 5080. The scam involved placing genuine 5080 stickers on the 5060 Ti, fooling the buyer. The incident likely occurred due to a deceptive swap during the return process, with the scammer successfully reselling the 5080. The buyer may seek a refund or exchange through Amazon's customer service to resolve the issue.
