Gamers and PC enthusiasts are jumping on RAM deals to shore up their systems before costs balloon even more next year, and scammers are taking notice.
As VideoCardz reports, one of its readers purchased four DDR5 memory kits off Amazon Spain. He resold one and installed another without any issue. The third kit, however, contained sticks of DDR or DDR2 RAM instead of DDR5, with stickers intended to hide the difference in chip design and layout. They also added a metal plate to the package to make up the weight difference.
It's not clear from the images which generation they're from, but it's definitely not recent. The DDR5 sticker was also placed on top so that they weren't viewable through the clear packaging. They don't appear to be super detailed, but would probably fool someone at first glance.
