Now that you have pointed it, it looks like tampered with, i was more focused on the processor.
Also the bottom was looked that ot was previously opened.
I read on telegram that a guy from Italy and US were upgrading there PC parts for fun, just replacing or even to the extent of going to claim rma with photoshopped items that they didn't even own.. It's not just "India" problem.Didn't the US rank top for software piracy. I would not put anything past them. Their laws are strict because they've been at it longer. Pretty much the same situation in the US with more inflation. Macro like stock market & real estate all doing well with high prices and out of reach for many.
India is a tough country to get a mobile number without accompanying paperwork thanks to terrorism. Not so easy to get burner mobile numbers here as it is over there. So same story there too.
I don't doubt they have their share of fraudsters too. It's a global problem but you seem to think we're top of the list here
I keep repeating, Open Box and better packing to spot tempering after items were packed. Run investigation on repeat reports.
But Amazon is so busy with the scaling, they can't be bothered to improve now.
What's left is to govt to step in and provide more consumer friendly return/replacement/troubleshooting.
Afterwards Amazon will start loosing more money to return frauds life low life jobless dirtbags.. so they will have to come up with better solution. Be it open box or improved temper free packaging or idk opening more pickup location where items can be verified on spot.
But from how things are going right now, it's a headache for everyone
Both are American companies. One is trying to do better
If they start losing business to a competitor the changes will happen.
I was looking at customer feedback for a vendor and one person said he would buy the same product on FK because for the first time in his life he had more trust in them.
I think that's quite a remarkable admission.
It is resealed dude. That's why I said a tape was under it. I noticed it immediately when you first displayed the box in the video. The new seal must've been fake. I mean what customer even scans the barcode?Now that you have pointed it, it looks like tampered with, i was more focused on the processor.
Also the bottom was looked that ot was previously opened.

What you are seeing is a closeup high resolution video, with naked eyes, it wasnot that apparent, and The barcode is real, you can scan it and it will open AMD authentication page.
Only the top part of the seal looks tampered with the bottom part was untouched.Moreover, the bottom of the box looked like it was tampered with.
Usually to check authenticity, company guideline / advise is to scan the barcode,
I'm planning to cancel my 7700x order placed as the seller is clicktech retail Pvt Ltd. Please advise.
Have cancelled the order, as I don't want to be potentially running behind Amazon/Clicktech

Sorry i didn;t see your comment somehow.Good thing that you cancelled.the extent of this scam is unknown.I would advise against purchasing processors from amazon unless they provide open box delivery.

I got one 5600 and 7600 from Flopkart. Thankfully both came genuine. It still does not look advisable to buy from either of these sites considering the risk involved.

We all just go ahead and blame the delivery agents,
This scam is happening at warehouse.
I received sealed package in One day delivery.
There was not enough time for the delivery agent to tamper the shipment.
Ask the delivery Agent to open it and record the video.
Atleast you will have solid undeniable evidence.
My RAMs were from the same seller few days after the processor fiasco,
But the RAMs were delivered fine.
It should be alright considering past experience as well as the fact that samsung 990 evo is not something "highly in-demand" product which has more chances of swap fraud. It is kind of like how such frauds will have less chances of happening with something like poco m6 compared to iphone.
