**Product:** SkullSaints Cosmo Mini PC

**Evidence:** Item-switching and “weight-padding” fraud.

**Reported Symptom:** “No Power / No Display”

### **The Discovery**

We recently processed a return for a **Cosmo** unit that was sent back through amazon. While the exterior appeared intact, our technicians found a sophisticated scam inside. The high-performance internals - including the motherboard, processor, 16GB RAM and our **512GB NVMe storage** - had been completely stripped out.

### **The “Weight Scam” Explained**

To trick the automated scales used in massive fulfillment centers, the fraudster filled the empty chassis with **industrial hot glue and scrap brass fittings**. Because this “Frankenstein” unit matched the official weight of a real PC, it bypassed standard warehouse checks and could have easily been shipped to another innocent customer as “New” or “Open Box” inventory.

### **Mandatory Action: Record Your Unboxing**

To protect yourself from being the victim of this logistics-side theft, we advise all users to **record a full unboxing video every time you receive goods.** \* **Seal & Label:** Start the video by showing the shipping label and the intact seals.

- **One Continuous Shot:** Do not pause or edit the video until the device is out and you have opened the chassis to verify the components.

- **Your Insurance:** If you receive a tampered unit, this video is your only definitive proof that the hardware was missing before the box reached you.

### **The Integrity of Direct Orders**

These specific item-switching and “hollowed-out” issues **do not happen with direct orders placed via [electroniksindia.com](https://www.electroniksindia.com/collections/skullsaints)**.

When you order through our website, we ensure that your unit is pulled from a “Clean Inventory” pool that is strictly isolated from marketplace return cycles. This ensures that the **16GB RAM** and **SSD** components inside your machine are exactly what were installed during our final QC, with zero risk of receiving a unit that has been tampered with by a previous scammer.
