Amazon is reportedly suffering from RMA fraud for Ryzen CPUs
Thankfully these fake CPUs are LGA, which means that their potential to damage AM4 motherboards is limited, even for novice PC builders and Amazon purchasers of these fake CPUs have gotten refunds or replacements quickly. At this time Amazon is working on this issue, though it is unknown how many of these fake CPUs are in their inventory.
It must be remembered that this issue has nothing to do with AMD, as right now only Amazon users have been affected by this in relatively small numbers. Amazon will need to train their RMA staff to spot fake CPUs, as this has happened in the past.
You can join the discussion on these fake Ryzen CPUs on the OC3D Forums.

Semitope - I agree completely. I saw this guy on another forum buy about ten monitors and send them all back. He had no intention of buying any of them. People who abuse stuff like this wreck it for the rest of us, but hey I guess that's life right?Quote
Amazon need to do something. Their returns are so easy. I know people who bought top end AMD PD chips, only to receive like a Celeron or something. They really need to crack down on that.

The minority harming the majority as always. I must say though, the service is crap now, really gone down hill.
amazon should be monitoring returns and banning people who return too often.

I wonder if they track the serial numbers and could just pursue action against the original customer who made the fake return?
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths those will go to in order to make a dishonest buck!Quote
