Recently, foreign media broke the well-known shopping website Amazon once organized large-scale consumer fraud events. In a short period of time, two users have received their own fake CPUs in Amazon shopping, and the two CPUs are the AMD Ryzen series, and there is reason to suspect that the two fake CPUs come from the same person. Amazon does not seem to be afraid of this incident, not only refunded the payment or gift card for these two consumers, but it is easy to develop by the developments. It is understood that this fake CPU is easy to cause irreparable damage to the motherboard.
Amazon's large amount of Ryzen 7/5 series CPU suspected fraud
This scam itself is very complicated, which may be related to the official seller and even Amazon officials, but it can be determined that the fake CPU is built based on the Intel processor's LGA, which is well known that the interface processing is complete because of Intel and AMD's CPU architecture. Different, there is a need to use different motherboards, but these scammers use the old Intel processor to replace the shell and replace all in all local places to Ryzen. That is to say, if this CPU is used on the AM4 motherboard, there is a possibility that there is a certain damage, and because there is no pin socket on the AM4 motherboard, if the CPU is too bad, it is easy to change in the CPU pin when insertion. The situation may even damage the socket itself.
The first time, Ryzen fake scam is a post posted on Reddit's SH00TER999, the specific time is approximately 2017.7.8, at the time, this seems to be only an example of individual users, and even the possibility of speculation sex.
The second event is also released on the Reddit, and the publishing time is not more than 22 hours from the author.
Both the two fake CPUs have the same heat sink (not genuine original Ryzen ghost radiator), and the fake radiator is accompanied by Ryzen Logo as the genuine radiator and is in a packed box, so we can get the conclusion There must be many people behind this, there must be a huge scam that has a planned huge scam, rather than a player, is selling a fake.
A user said: The trafficking of selling fakes is Amazon itself, but in fact, there is a problem in fact that the Amazon's distribution system has problems, and this fraud method and Jingdong "buy real return fake" is exactly the same, the liar will Buy genuine Ryzen processor first, then immediately return to Amazon (weight, look close to authentic), and it is easy to confuse the Amazon employees who are not proficient in the fake processor. This is a success of the day.
In fact, this kind of thing has taken twice, and the same technique also illustrates that there may be these two fake CPUs in Amazon inventory, which is likely to have more fake CPUs still in Amazon inventory, and have even flow to users. In hand, since all refunds / return happened online, as long as there is an account record, it is easy to find the murderer, but if the liar is used by a fake registration, then the problem may be more serious. However, as a potential consumer, we need to pay attention to the purchase of electronic products:
1. Buy directly in the official flagship store or reliable storefront, try to avoid third party sellers, if there is still a problem in the flagship store, then we must ensure that the refund or even compensation can be made through the store policy and shopping platform policies. If the store is committed to a fake, then you may send a small fortune with the fakes in your hand.
2. Remaining evidence in time after receiving the goods, especially valuable electronic products, avoiding exact evidence when avoiding disputes.
3. Frequently check the processor, using the test comparison, and if the player needs to know is that the Intel processor and the AMD processor are completely different, even if the liar uses a sticker covering the lace However, the performance of the product will not be concealed by the sticker. If the processor performance is too large, the product itself is too big, then this product must have a problem, do not think that the performance of the processor that drags other computer accessories The full unreasonable data in performance running points is not possible!
However, foreign shopping websites and the country have some different, so don't just use the foreign shopping website and domestic after-sales service, and in the legal level of Amazon, Amazon does not need to bear any legal responsibility, they The only thing to do is to pull false third-party sellers.
