Just a public service announcement for all the OzBargain tech enthusiasts and deal hunters looking for good offers on AMD Nucoffs.
Some may consider this common sense but be cautious when buying from third-party sellers on Amazon. There’s a scam where the seller lists an item, but after you make a purchase, they contact you with a message. The image contains a QR code that directs you outside of Amazon, where they’ll attempt to collect your personal details or ask for additional payment. The QR and website looks like amazon with the same colour scheme; Stay alert!
Check the seller, if its a new account or has no rating its likely a scammer.
If you fall victim to the first step, purchasing the item, you should contact Amazon support ASAP. However, from my personal experience, the staff are often unaware of the scam and cannot verify the QR code, as they don’t have access to these services. Amazon support may insist that you contact the seller or give them time to respond to your refund or cancellation request, but the scammer will simply send the same message again.
