Note before anything: i am not trying to promote this company, i was just looking around at graphics cards and came across this
So anyway with that out the way, https://bit.ly/373AL76 , this seems preeeeetty fake, a 2080ti for $262.49. I have no idea what currency, but on the preview picture, the box shows a plain 2080. I have no clue what to think of this. The shop is located in melbourne, AUS, and has a 1.3 star review rating.

I have opened the link, because I don't trust shortened links, but from what you describe it sounds like a full scam.

The card itself is real but the store has a very bad trust rating.

By my sussing, it's not a GPU at all, but rather the hybrid kit that EVGA sells for the 2080ti FTW3.
