Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I think those comments about the shortages lasting that long... are done on "purpose"... they cause panic buying...etc... they're all in on the f'ing grift....
I actually think those times were worse than now, just IMO
Don't like paying more than not - but items going out of stock ASAP only for scalpers to then put them up on ebay at heavily inflated prices and for even those to sell out quickly -...
