Hello, i am new here however I been following linus and his team for a long time. I was surfing wish the other day and as most ppl know anything off wish computer or computer part wise typically most anything is just cheap knock offs, I found a few items that worked as expected but a very few... I came across this yesterday lol

 

(Link removed wish is touchy I added pictures instead of the scam haha)

 

 

"Hot sale Colorful iGame GTX1080Ti Vulcan AD 11GB Video Graphics Card 1594/1708MHz forNIER "

 

 

5$ with shipping I know it wont work but the price makes it so i loose virtually nothing just messing with it... And if you look up the real one it is several hundred dollars for the gtx1080ti lol... Think I should buy it just for giggles? I know it wont work but just funny the price...

Why do people keep even using wish?

50/50 chance you either don't get anything at all or it's going to be something like a USB cable. 

Do not give them money

I use wish for items like this which are from legit sellers, I understand the skepticism with wish my wife uses it all the time and her junk breaks within a day however I use it for my DIY lighting for my fairy garden I am making and for no static bags as well as trading card boxes, cheap items like that... From trusted sellers that I use regularly. But coming across this item in the main post that is clearly a scam which is why I wanted to post it and Wax may 've right... May be a phishing scheme so I am not even going to see what I would get if anything lol

They use pretty obvious tactics. Having big "sales" to make it look like good deal. Actually the price is what is listed there and then they pick suitable "actual" price in order to get nice "deal" going on.

Totally pointless and useless in my opinion. But hey if you like this kinda stuff, go for it. They'll only have your credit card information right?
