"Like new" Ryzen 9 9900X3D Amazon order turns into a shocking CPU bait-and-switch scandal — shopper duped in outrageous Ryzen 9 3900X scam

The CPU had been replaced inside the box to deceive any inspection and was likely resold to the unlucky buyer, who ended up getting much less valuable silicon than they paid for.
