It's a pretty common scam as well and it's existed for years. Not really 'news'

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

These are some of the most obvious scams, at this point you would need to be a very ignorant person to buy one if you know anything about it.

You dont need to verify the chipset. That cooler is the no. 1 cooler used on cham cards.

and its a better cooler than the one on my rx480, but lets not talk about tht.

I could use some help with this!

That's a pretty ignorant way to put it. If you're not that tech inclined and know you need a GPU, but not about the scams and shortages, it's easy to see why it can be fallen for, especially if the price seems realistic. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on tech, but I didn't know 1050s don't have VGA (though I certainly wouldn't ever go looking for a card on ebay). Like the more common text scams, sure, I wouldn't ever fall for one myself, but if I were 50 years older and less clued up on technology it would be pretty easy to fall for.

Sorry if it sounded ignorant
