Forgot to add. Newegg is one hell of a stand up company.

I don't know but  this kind of BS is all the time increasing, I am for cutting off those  scammers hands .
 I mean there were times when people got hanged for stealing  a little bit of bread  at the times of Thomas Moore . That was of course unjust,as the winners were the bad guys at that time.
But here we can  still  eventually end  the uprising of the MOb ,scum and  ethically degenerated.
Its just necessary to get dirty hands  i fear.
I doubt by just talking we will get a grip on the increasing amount of scum on this planet.

I love it when Kehakoul gets morally outraged.  ;D

Overall this kind of processor fake is pretty harmless when you think about it. It's the less easily detected ones (actually functional) that I'm more concerned about.
