Unlucky customer buys RTX 5080, receives relabelled RTX 5060 Ti in the box instead — GPU was sold and shipped by Amazon, hinting at return switcheroo

An Asus Prime RTX 5060 Ti was swapped for the RTX 5080 the customer actually ordered, with reapplied stickers to add another layer of deception. The malpractice is easy to spot as the 5060 Ti has a single 8-pin connector, while Nvidia's 80-class cards have used 16-pin connectors for a while now. This is another entrant in the "commingling" line of scams.
