Everybody saw a $999 RTX 5090 listing on Amazon, and the scam vibes hit instantly. Reports said the Amazon Marketplace page pitched a GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 Master for $999, which is wildly off what shoppers have been dealing with for top-tier cards. With stock being messy and prices staying high, that kind of lowball tag can bait people into rushing the buy button.

The seller tied to it, Fitter’s Niche Direct, looked legit at first glance, rocking nearly 1,800 reviews and a 99% positive score. Dig deeper, though, and the store supposedly had a tiny catalog of five items: three waist packs, a sports stretching belt, and that RTX 5090 listing. That lineup does not scream real GPU supplier.

Buyer complaints attached to the listing described the same pattern. People ordered the graphics card, and a waist pack showed up instead. One person described it as a $1,000 fanny pack situation, and others said refunds got messy because returns were processed around the waist pack, not the RTX 5090 the system expected.

The report also said scam claims started showing up on December 28, 2025, and it put the victim count at 42, with one recent case dated January 12, 2026. It claimed Amazon removed at least one negative review, and it showed a notice saying the item was fulfilled by Amazon, with Amazon responsible for delivery. The listing was still supposedly orderable, and the seller's account did not look decisively shut down.
