Amazon CPU Swap - Asgarra555 - 01-03-2023
Hello I was wondering if nowadays it would be possible to get a refund on a 500€ CPU by swapping it with a worthless one.
Package arrived a couple of days ago with OTP so DNA not possible.
Account is in good standing with 150 orders or more every year for 3/4 years.
I was thinking of swapping an i7 13700k with an old celeron CPU I had lying around, they look similar and one would notice the difference only if they knew what they were dealing with.
Is it worth a try?

I checked your CPU and you can see him outside the box. So if you swap the CPU with the Celeron one, they would see it and you will get busted.
I have an idea of getting blank one and with a laser engraving machine to engrave cpu text and do the swap. But I think it would not be easy to find who could do laser engraving and would do the same as it is on the original.

It's only 80 grams, so simply box the return.
