Russian Man Gets Scammed After Opening Sealed RTX 5070 Ti Box and Finding a Water Bottle Inside

A Russian buyer paid about 90,000 rubles for a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti on Wildberries, then opened the sealed box at the store and found a 2-liter water bottle instead of the GPU.

The buyer recorded the unboxing at the counter, creating evidence that the package was sealed even though its contents had been swapped.

The case highlights how hardware scams can happen despite apparently intact packaging, and why unboxing videos can help support refunds or disputes.
