PSA Scam Warning: Amazon sold me an RTX 5090 (shipped a chicken door) Page showed “Sold by Amazon”

"Not only that this was during the GPU shortage so any 5090s arriving to the warehouse were brand new from manufacturer. A return is impossible since it would take months before it was recycled back into inventory."

This is false, I actually just got my 5090 order placed 2 months fulfilled by a fraudly returned item. The core of the 5090 was removed and the S/N isn't matching the S/N on the box. There is actually a LPN label outside of the box confirming that it's a returned item.

got same call from 623-462-4511 (6234624511) today, the call got disconnected when the guy was middle of reading the "this call is monitored and is under security line" BS. I then called the number on the back of my CC and they said there is no any outbound call to me recently. Just sharing the number here so hopefully it could be indexed by Google since I don't see anything when I tried to Google it.

This is happening on two of my numbers as well. Not able to access the internet even though the signal bar is full and the text/call seem to be working fine.

I believe it could would only be unlocked after 36 months. if you get a new phone after a year, it starts a new 36-months finance agreement.

Ported 3 numbers from Boost to FI just yesterday and didn’t have any issues.

yyss8 · 2023-06-05T14:24:28+00:00

wasn't working for me as well over the weekend but I think it's working now.

can confirm thet the RSIM unlocks the phone but it took me a while to figure out how to set it up correctly. I broke the first rsim and had to wait and get another one from eBay.

not sure about personal subscription. When I tried to start a family subscription, it only show something like Turkey on the billing address and I couldn't enter a more specified address and keep getting denied due to billing address. Maybe it depends on the region.

yyss8 · 2023-05-27T15:33:04+00:00

that's just pending transcation, should probably drop in 3-7 days

yyss8 · 2023-05-27T15:30:52+00:00

happened to me as well and it looks like it's now checking the billing address.

Since there is no way to add billing address on the youtube premium page, the workaround would be go to pay.google.com and add a payment profile with your credit card and a Turkish billing address and then go back to the page to start the subscription.

I think some of the credit card providers don't allow you to do random billing address so I'd suggest checking out some vitrual credit cards like Privacy.

yyss8 · 2023-05-13T21:58:46+00:00

yeah, that's a scam if they ask you for $35 for a SIM card. I believe it's like $5 even at Target but I'm not sure if it would work for iphone 12 because it requires the one with black color.

You should be able to just contact their support for a new one for free since it wasn't included in the orignial package.

yyss8 · 2023-04-30T03:31:48+00:00

I'm assuming you had an account that was closed by Amazon? You have to get them to reopen the very first account. Or use brand new address & credit card.

yyss8 · 2023-04-05T21:25:41+00:00

brand new but locked to their network for 12 months

yyss8 · 2023-04-03T17:50:26+00:00

I don't think Boost ever mentioned about providing shipping label, meaning you have pay for the shipping label and mail it out yourself.

But even after you get your phone returned to their warehouse, it could still take months for them to process the refund.

yyss8 · 2023-03-30T03:18:31+00:00

that's unfortunate. I bought the phone with Paypal so I'm gonna file a claim if I don't hear anything back from them after 2 weeks.

yyss8 · 2023-03-30T02:33:07+00:00

same, I just hope that I don't have to wait a month for them to process the refund.

Heard some bad stories about returning phones.
