So I've ordered an EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super FTW3 Ultra Gaming on Amazon .de from a 3rd party seller which was listed at 230€ (This is like third of the price of what a normal one would go for) and was wondering if it is possible to get a return from amazon on if it turns out to be a fake (highly likely).
Now the worry is that I would have to open up said GPU to determine this since most scams are pretty sophisticated. Would amazon allow me a refund on a GPU that was opened that turned out to be different from the listed one?
Also how worried do I have to be if it ships in the official unopened box? It was listed as New so it should be unopened in the official EVGA box. Do most scammers have those, or do the fake ones usually come in less convincing boxes?
Finally... yes it is a dumb idea to even try these super cheap GPU's but I have to do that mistake atleast once, no?
So yea, am I gonna get rekt and be stuck with a fake GPU that I paid while not even close to full price, a hefty amount nonetheless? Or does amazon understand us less fortunate folk that get scammed into buying obviously fake GPU's?
