Just want to put it out there, people should be careful buying PC parts on amazon during the time leading up to Black Friday. In the past three to four days I've seen three different types on scams on AMD CPUs and GPUs. Always check to see the seller. See who's selling and who's shipping. Check the seller history and make sure the store front wasn't just created recently. Good Luck finding those DEALS.

Nope, reviews were all fine. Even the seller reviews at the time were fine. It was the seller that Amazon was shoving up when searching for the processor. Two weeks later, yes - the seller was crammed with negative reviews, including mine.

One wonders if a legit seller's account gets hacked and then the scammers take it over just long enough to make a quick buck

Someone in the warehouse still has to put the lenses in a box though, even though the order says CPU or GPU...
