I bought a new Samsung 980 pro shipped and sold from amazon.com and it came with fake stickers on it that seemed real at first, but when I plugged it into my pc the drive reads as a hp ssd ex900 120gb. Fucking crazy! The serial number on the sticker on the ssd doesn't even match the box serial. beware of these damn scammers!

Sounds like someone bought it, swapped it and returned it and then you got sold it as new. Sadly, this is a common scam that pops up from time to time on Amazon.

yeah looks like it, funny thing is I bought a 500gb 980 pro as well and I was comparing the both of them and the 2tb fake drive felt lighter and I was confused at first but now I know why lol
