  • I have been seeing a lot of ads on RUclips for the website Wish.com lately and it made me wonder: Is it still a scam?
    I bought a $48 GTX 1050 ti, and there is something a bit dodgy about it.
    Here is the video where Phil fixes a similar fake GPU: • Fix Fake Graphics Card...

      saying wish is a scam because of a seller is like saying amazon is a scam because of a seller.
      I don't care about wish never bought on wish,
      But it's important to say that your clickbait title is 100% wrong.

      @@joannot6706 yep i have bought some stuff on wish some made it some didnt i ask for a refund and they did it no questioning no problems they gave me a full refund even for the products i already got. so yes there is a lot of seller scaming on wish but teh platform do respond to those who get scam. plus they keep scaming because ppl like you wont complain and ask for refund so they still making a profit.

      I thought for sure it was a gtx550 that's usually their top pick for scamming. But I would never pick a China GPU that has the black and green styles or the white and blue colors to them unless u ment to by a 450 or 550 because they are 100% scams all the way.

    • @TheRealWALLABI
      @TheRealWALLABI 5 лет назад +7

      I knew it would be either a GTS450 or a GTX550 Ti, thats the only two GPUs the chinese scammers use to make their fake cards. They only use those cheap mid-range Fermi cards because they have an easy-to-mod BIOS, which means they can easily alter the BIOS and make the card think it's something else. They can't do that nearly as easily with Kepler or Maxwell cards. Plus, those old mid-range Fermis are cheap af.
      What you could do though, is buy a bunch of those cards, preferably the ones that use a GTX550 Ti GPU, revert them to their original BIOS, open a complaint on Wish for fraudulent sale (it actually works, once you can prove that the product you received is not as advertised, you will get refunded very quickly), get your money back, then sell the cards on eBay as what they really are (450 or 550), and there you go : PROFIT.

    • @TheRealWALLABI
      @TheRealWALLABI 5 лет назад +1

      @@juniorklaus1595 could have been a good idea, but they need a PCB that's roughly the same size as the card they try to imitate. The G210 is way too small, it would look much more obvious that it's fake. The mid-range Fermi cards they use are just about the same size as a mid-range Pascal card, so it's perfect.

      It's not anti static, it's anti shock. It will protect it from a discharge coming from the outside, like a static shock coming from your hand when you grab it. But it won't protect from static electricity building up on the GPU itself. Protects from the outside but not from the inside.

      there's different kinds of esd packaging... there's dissipative packaging and there's insulating packaging. you use the first if you want to bring "unsafe" components into an esd area, and you use the insulating packaging to shield the component from esd damage outside of an esd area. the described properties + the date of manufacturing need to be printed on the bag itself, otherwise it's not esd (at least in the EU). pink esd bubble wrap is usually dissipative and therefore not suitable for this case.

    Half of the stuff on Wish is a scam.
    The other half is stuff they order from Aliexpress with your money at half the price you pay for it.

      it's really good if you're planning on buying cheap stuff anyway. For the same cost, it's better than buying at a dollar store. and up Alibaba they make you buy a hundred of them to get the good cost so from wish you can often get cost that's better than Alibaba but not as good as you would get buying in bulk. Idk, it depends on what you're buying. For example, if you just want your 6 year old daughter to feel fancy I having a cool looking watch that looks like Mom's, why not? Perfect! You'll spend maybe $5 and have something that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else locally.

      @@pilotavery that's what Aliexpress does, it's the official e-market from Alibaba, where sellers buy in bulk and sell in individual amounts at the best price. Wish literally copies the offers from Aliexpress, add a markup, and when they get your money they use it to actually buy the stuff you could have bought directly from you.
      Basically, you're paying someone selling on Wish twice the amount just so you don't have to do the exact same thing from Aliexpress.

      @@SergioLeRoux what I've noticed is that which must have some warehouses somewhere because they can offer me the same price for the identical product as the bulk of 25 for the same part number and everything. I suspect they're buying 100 at a time. Because I've noticed I'm getting an even better deal than I was expecting. Nothing to good, but definitely nice

      Solon Draco yes, you just have to ensure you keep the product and package contents, delivery slip, and shipping number. You also need to take a picture of everything when you are requesting a refund to show proof that you have the product on hand.

    So they took a GTS 450 and spoofed it to become a broken, fake "GTX 1050 ti"? It would have been better to just leave it as a working GTS 450, which is better than a broken GTX 1050 ti.
