the Mountpoint CSI driver presents an Amazon S3 bucket as a storage volume accessible by containers in your Kubernetes cluster

Amazon letting sellers post ads for ~$3K graphics cards, and then the seller ships them fanny packs. Confirmed multiple times and in reviews.

Almost too tempting...

EDIT: 🤣🤣 Look at seller reviews: https://files.catbox.moe/wg1oqi.png

DONT DO IT.

Per a previous post, I actually tried it due to the FBA return policy, cause I was putting it on an empty amz card, and cause I was bored. 🥱😏

you get a Fanny pack

I recorded the shit out of opening the package and reported it as fraud. A few people were doing the exact same thing (ordering it it case it was real, and recording opening of the package to CYA) cause we were also bored 😂

out of the norm, you have to take detailed pics and the charge stays on your card until they receive Fanny pack (yes you have to send it back 😂🤣) and ‘inspect it’ I guess due to the massive number of returns and fraud reports+ add to that the normal refund period. Not even a credit to your account would be instant once you return it to a drop off. 😕

Clearly a waste of time but will mess you up serious if you use a debit card or if there is any sort of delay that results in them receiving it late, and taking too long to process it.

Amazon will not make you whole on this. Maybe they give you a shitty coupon (some people reported a $10 credit 😒) and it’s not worth your time.

You'd think Amazon would suspend the seller or remove the listing the moment 20+ people all reported it and returned it for the same reason instead of removing the reviews and letting people get scammed (and then dragging their feet getting the defrauded people their money back)

I just received my AORUS RTX 5090 from Amazon, sold and shipped directly by Amazon as brand new. When I opened the box, it was clearly an open-box item and contained only a PCB with no GPU chip or VRAM installed. How does Amazon ship something like this as new?

I saw that the other day. Was tempted, but then when I checked the store all the reviewers were 1 stars saying that they got a fanny pack instead of what they ordered. Amazon, being Amazon had removed or crossed the review out because it was fulfilled by them not the store, basically allowing them to defraud people
