One of the biggest problems we face when making a purchase online is the possibility that it turns out to be a scam, something that, thanks to e-commerce sites that have higher reliability, is not usually too frequent. But even on a page like amazon We can encounter this type of problem from time to time, and that is that a user has purchased a processor of the latest generation, but he was greatly surprised to see that what came in the box of a Intel i7-14700K was actually an i5-760.
Scams through internet pages have managed to reach even sites that we may think are extremely safe. During the time of the resale of graphics cards used for mining we saw how a large number of users had complaints for having purchased graphics cards that seemed new but that already had great use. But surely what no one could imagine was a scam as clear as what happened to a Reddit user, who comments that instead of receiving a processor of last generationthey have sold you, for the original price of the first, one from many more years ago.
A problem that scares us all, buying a processor and being deceived in the process
Online commerce has managed to offer a series of really great advantages to many users, being able to buy what we want and have it at our doorstep in a short time makes it much easier for us, for example, to replace a processor that has broken. But this is not always a positive thing, since there are times when we can be unlucky enough to be victims of a scam, to have purchased a defective product, or to have not been sent what we have purchased.
In this case, a Reddit user has told how his friend bought a processor i7-14700Kbut when it arrived and he opened the box he realized that there was something wrong, something wrong since 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, something that does not usually happen in these processors since they are silk-screened, thus revealing that it was not 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, not on wholesale purchases, since only those items that come directly from its store are those that are free of problems, since they are the ones that are checked. In the event that we buy something through this page we must be clear that we do so from a trusted seller, while there may also be problems in the event that a person has returned the product and has exchanged the original processor, something that would not be Nor is it the first time it happens, although it is true that in that case, selling products returned by another user (without checking the content) as new is a problem that the company should solve.
