A Reddit user says a Best Buy order for an ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 5080 ended with a box of rocks instead of a $1,200 graphics card. The buyer placed the order on 25 November and received it on 28 November. According to his post, the card shipped with shipping labels stuck directly to the retail GPU box, no outer brown carton, and a seal that already looked tampered with.

I remember some social engineering methods where people were doing did this. I wouldn't be surprised if the Redditor is trying to scam Best Buy and is using social media canceling tactics to get what they want.
