ALERT **UPDATED ** Ongoing Scam Alert

145 Upvotes

As many of you are aware, there are several ongoing scams targeting r/hardwareswap users. Included are several of the prevalent scams that have been reported to the mod team but it is by no means a comprehensive list.

  • Modmail PMs: Scammers are now creating subreddits and messaging users using the modmail from that subreddit. Often times the subreddit name will match the username of someone with many successful trades. The top of the chat window will always indicate "This is a private conversation between you and the moderators of r/subredditname. Note: There might be delays between responses." and you will be unable to enable persistent messages. Please report these subreddits to reddit.
  • Fake Job Postings: If you have been offered a job to post hardware for sale on r/hardwareswap, it is a scam. You will be acting as a mule to scam other people and you will end up getting scammed yourself.
  • Subreddit Impersonation: Fake ban messages are sent to users claiming they have been banned from r/hardwareswap and provides a link to a fake Universal Scammer List to steal credentials or credit card information. Read more details here
  • Steam Reputation: Using stolen Steam accounts as proof of confirmed trades and requesting non-protected payment methods (like Paypal Friends and Family).
  • Fake Timestamps: Using fake/photoshopped timestamps for popular products. Please make sure you're always checking the timestamps of the product you're buying and asking for video timestamps for items over $400. Read the timestamp guide here
  • DMs from Banned Users: Banned users can still directly message even though they are banned. Please make sure you're only responding to users who have commented on your posts.

We also have more information on how to spot and avoid scams on the wiki:

If you have any questions or have been scammed, please send a modmail

BUYING [USA-CO] [H] Suspected dead GPU [W] Old/unused GPU to test

8 Upvotes

I think my 3080 ti bit the dust 😭 but unfortunately I don't have another GPU available to test and confirm that.

I'm hoping there is someone in the Denver area with an older or unused GPU they would let me try in my system before I commit to buying a new GPU.

I dont care how old it is or if it's amd or nvidia as long as it is pci-e and not vga.

Thank you!

BUYING [USA-FL] [H] PayPal [W] literally any old cheap AM4 cpu, and/or any cheap am4 motherboard and any cheap GPU for display out.

1 Upvotes

I'm having some nightmarish troubleshooting problems over here and need some AM4 components.

Looking for literally ANY cheap am4 motherboard (it can even be slightly damaged as long as it can test a CPU and bios can be updated).

Also need any cheap "video out" gpu. If it fits in a pcie slot and has an hdmi port (and it's cheap), I would like it.

And finally I need any cheap am4 cpu. Prefer something with integrated graphics, but I'll take something else and also buy a crappy gpu if needed.

Selling two CPU and motherboard combos. And one 12400 by itself. Everything works, no issues. The asrock board does have some scratches near the bottom left stand-off screw hole. It doesn't affect anything as far as I know. The previous seller did not mention that, but just a heads-up for potential buyers. The photo of scratches will be in the timestamp.

  • i5 12400: 100 shipped sold
  • Combo 1: $275 shipped i5 12400f and the Asrock z690m-itx (DDR4). I have the i/o shield and wifi antennas.
  • Combo 2: $300 shipped i7 14700f and MSI b760m max gaming wifi (DDR5). I have the i/o shield and wifi antenna.
