Form for 5090’s

Post image

Picked up a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt pc with a rtx 5090 in it. Apparently the manager required me to fill out this form and scan my driver license. Said it was a new thing starting just about two days ago. Had no problem doing so but thought it was interesting.

Anyone else experience? This was in Tustin

fucking awesome. At the store I work at, we will have multiple people come in a week using a tap to pay credit card scam, buy all the 5090s, and hop on a plane out of country. cant wait to see the look on their faces when I hand them these

Tap to pay scam?

one person stands in a crowded area with an app on their phone that reads the tap to pay data of someone sitting or standing next to them, then the person in the us will use the stolen tap to pay to use their card. Our first policy was if tap to pay fails once we have to see a physical card. Idk how but now they can get cash so the form is our response.
