One of the biggest problems we face when shopping online is the possibility of it being a scam, which thanks to more trustworthy e-commerce sites is usually not too much frequent. But even on a page like Amazon We may encounter this type of issue from time to time i.e. a user has purchased a processor latest generation, but he was very surprised to see that what was in the box of a Intel The i7-14700K was actually an i5-760.
Web page scams have managed to reach even sites that we think are extremely safe. In the days of reselling graphics cards used for mining, we saw that a large number of users were complaining about purchasing graphics cards that looked new but. which already had a great use. But what no one could imagine was surely a scam as clear as what happened to a Reddit user, who comments that instead of receiving a processor of last generationthey sold you, at the original price of the first one, a model dating back several years.
A problem that scares us all, buying a processor and being cheated in the process
Online commerce has managed to offer a series of really important advantages to many users, being able to buy what we want and have it on our doorstep in a short time allows us to replace, for example, a processor much more easily broken-down. . But this is not always a positive thing, as there are times when we may be unlucky enough to be scammed, to have purchased a faulty product, or to have not received what we purchased .
In this case, a Reddit user shared how his friend purchased a processor i7-14700Kbut when he got there and opened the box he realized that there was something wrong, something was wrong because it seemed quite strange. And obviously it was strange, since after taking it out of the box he noticed that the IHS had a sticker, which does not usually happen in these processors since they are screen printed, thus revealing that it does not It wasn't really an i7-14700K. , but an i5 -760 after removing the sticker.
In these cases we must remember that Amazon is a company focused mainly on the distribution of products, and not on bulk purchases, since only the items that come directly from its store are those that do not pose any problem, since this are they who are verified. . In the event that we buy something through this page, we must be clear that we are doing it from a trusted seller, although there may also be problems in the event that a person has returned the produced and exchanged the original processor, which would not be the case. be It is also not the first time that this happens, although it is true that in this case selling products returned by another user (without checking the contents) as new is a problem that the company must solve.
