Last night I thought I found an unbelievable deal on a refurbished GTX 1080 Ti. It was listed as $49.99. If you're not tech savvy, new 1080 Ti's go for around $1000. I checked thoroughly to make sure I wasn't getting scammed. What I didn't know at the time was the account was probably cracked. I figured this out because I still have no shipping notice, and I found out the description and images were copied from a legitimate seller.

There are now more listings with the same problems. I'm assuming it's one person behind this. A scam on a scale like this is a federal offense. And unless this person knows how to hide, he/she will get what's coming.

Gonna get a refund and look for another card. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I'd assume the seller would have various accounts up and running.

Thanks for the heads-up.

By Allah if you imply again there's any such thing as due diligence on something that blatant I will beat you with my shoe mashallah.

This is an incredibly blatant and somewhat common scam with cracked eBay/PayPal accounts to make normies dumbasses chance that "Hey maybe this fucking stupid deal is actually real!" And get a few k of sales in a day, cash it all out by whatever means necessary as best you can until eBay/PayPal notice and close the account and then the fake seller just hops on their way sometimes having cleared a few k in one run or two, eBay instantly cancels the orders and issues refunds to all the buyers and a fake PayPal goes negative and never gets signed into again leaving PayPal as the only ones eating a loss.
