MSI warns of the sale of fake graphics cards with the brand name

Fraudulent web pages that try to impersonate the official one are quite common on the net. In this case, it was MSI itself that was responsible for pointing out two web pages that were trying to take advantage of users by selling brand GPUs by pretending to be the official website at ridiculous prices.

MSI alerts users to fake pages that impersonate their store and show incredible discounts

The way they use these types of pages to get sales is to put products that are normally expensive at very low prices, so that users can see them and go quickly to buy them. Both websites, denounced by MSI, have the same design, which suggests that they are managed by the same people. Within these web pages we find graphics such as an MSI GAMING GeFroce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDRR5X at only 129 euros, when its real price is about 1000 euros.

Although it is true that in this case the web design has not been very successful, since on other occasions it seemed that we were browsing the official website. What they have done in taking the corporate colors, the name of the web and its logo in low quality.

Through a statement, MSI has urged users to buy its products through official channels and has ensured that the websites http://msi-stores.com/ and http://www.mc-stores.com/ do not belong to those channels.

You have to be careful with these types of offers on the Internet

When buying online you have to be very smart and know well the security methods that the pages must have to buy on them. Also, if they are official pages, you only have to do a quick search of the original website.

This type of website has been created in a shabby way and although its URL may resemble that of MSI, it does not have the https certificate that indicates that the page is secure and encrypts our data.

These types of scams are nothing new, we have been seeing for years how they try to take advantage of users, in this case it has been the turn of the GPUs, which are one of the objects that has become more expensive in recent years. In addition, whenever we come across websites of this type and with such incredible prices, we must doubt and inform ourselves better to prevent this type of fraud.
