Scam as in not worth the money, or the seller won't actually send you the PC? From the perspective of a pre-built PC, it's actually pretty reasonable.

Looking through the seller's listed products... I have serious doubts about the legitimacy of it.

$400 for a GTX 1080? Yeaaahhh no.

Where does it say it includes a 1080? I see RX480.

If there are any doubts for getting what it listed, just remember you are still dealing with Amazon. You're not purchasing blindly from a random person, with no assurance.

New to Amazon or online shopping?

Seller's other products.. page 3 or something. A $650 Zotac AMP! Extreme 1080 for 400 even. That's a scam and a half.

I just noticed that you said "Looking through the seller's listed products", which I seemed to have glossed over.

Luckily, it is on Amazon. To be scammed on Amazon, you basically have to lay down and take it.

Not necessarily. Lately those sellers require that you contact them directly and sending the money manually, circumventing Amazon completely.

That falls under "laying down and taking it".

If you shop on Amazon, do it right. Add to cart and purchase. If a seller wants you to contact them and avoid the standard checkout, then avoid that seller and report them.

Know how to Amazon. Shopping on Amazon is rather clear cut and dry. If you use Amazon, as intended, then there isn't a way for you to get scammed. Perhaps a waste of time, but Amazon will not allow you leave empty handed, thanks to the "A-Z Guarantee".

Or maybe it's a toasted card. They'll send it alright.. and you'll have a new paperweight. (I didn't look at the ad, so if in original package then suspect repack or other scam as above)

...and accepting that would be "laying down and taking it".

If you get it used, when it is listed as new, then that falls under Amazon's guarentee.

I shouldn't have to explain how to use Amazon or shop online, but it feels like I'm going to have to.
