A Reddit user who ordered an RTX 5080 graphics card from Best Buy says they received a box of rocks instead of the $1,200 GPU.
The card was shipped in its box. It was not placed in a nondescript shipping package, making it easy for scammers to spot the expensive item.
The buyer noted immediately that the seal had been tampered with. Inside the box, they found several rocks ā carefully bubble-wrapped for safety.
The kicker? Best Buy says it won't replace the card. Although the buyer was initially told a replacement card was on the way, Best Buy reportedly reneged on that after an "investigation."
