Newegg ships counterfeit Intel i7 processors to customers

[atifsh]

The fake Intel i7 920 processors were delivered to customers, and reports began rolling in yesterday, with a total up to five separate incidents and nine customers in total so far.
The fake processors were shipped earlier in the week by Newegg, and possibly more customers maybe affected by this, but may have yet to receive or report the issue.

I stopped buying parts from them a while back after several RMA's. I did buy my 7 x64 Home Premium and have received 1 not genuine copy message or 2. Not sure though if it was Egg's Copy cause I bought another copy from Zip. I just validated w/MS and support told me both were legit and if any more notices to call Genuine Advantage.

If this holds water w/the i7's Egg might be on it's way well done.
