According to reports,A former mayor of the Philippines fell victim to a staggering scam in which he paid a high price for a computer whose actual value was far less than the purchase price.It was revealed that the mayor spent about 10 million Philippine pesos (approximately 1.2479 million yuan) to buy a computer. What is really interesting is that depending on its configuration, the actual value of this computer may only be around a few thousand yuan.
Judging from the exposed pictures, the configuration of this computer is not high-end. It uses a mATX specification chassis, may be equipped with an Intel Alder Lake or higher processor, and is paired with an ASUS PRIME H610-R mATX motherboard.
In addition, the computer is also equipped with a 750W CVS power supply and G.Skill's Ripjaws memory, which may have a memory capacity of 16GB or 32GB.
The key is that this computer is not equipped with a discrete graphics card, but uses an integrated graphics card. Overall, such a configuration is only worth a few thousand yuan at most on the market.
The current mayor mentioned that there may be a "corrupt transaction" in this transaction, but of course we don't know the specific circumstances.
