Definitely not excusing scammers, but always inspect and test items if you're purchasing with no recourse! Make sure to meet in a public place with lots of people around. If you feel uneasy, walk away from the transaction.
By now, WE all know that these devices from hell have PROBLEMS that the company just ignores. The place where you attach it to that long "plug-in" CRACKS cause it's WEAK!!! Bad design #1. Then there's the GPU plug in with all those multiple wires culminating into one or two cheap plastic sockets that when soldered at the factory, uses very little solder and then when they clean the boards for packaging, the little bit of solder is eaten away. AND being that all the heat is concentrated here with NO fin dissipator and not dedicated fan, the little bit of solder melts as does the cheap plastic plug-in resulting in melting and burning and "Hiroshima". I don't own one of these but if I did I'd move the plug-in to an off board location with thicker long wires coming into the board. The plug-in would then be set up with an aluminum heat fin dissipator and dedicated fan with a temp sensor. Can't help the weak PCB board bad design except to say, make sure the receptacle is a bit sprung so that you don't have to put so much pressure on the board to push it into place. I wonder if a better cooling design for the GPU plug-in area would be to run the connectors thru a dry ice box while in use. There might even be a way to make a mini ammonia refrigeration device to set up for cooling. Run the wires thru your freezer maybe?? As for this situation.....................Buy a ticket to China and find out who makes the pcb's. then buy a couple of boards minus the components and then come back home and start moving the components to the new board. EASY!!!! Ok, yeah, if you're not just in the China area then this could get expensive. I used to fly all over Asia for my job. If I'd known about this problem then I'd certainly bought up a bunch of boards and helped out you guys. I bet those boards are less than a dollar each.
what the balls bro
Yeah that’s nuts
I can’t believe the scammer had the guts to do that lol
WTF. 100% chance that GPU chip is toast, the pads under it are wrecked and there is no hope for this. Some people really suck.
They really do 😭
Was the GPU a 3080? Bummer about the scam! 😡😠

Nice haircut! It will always be bad people 🙁
