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.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Ok, so I am out of luck?
Should I even risk buying it bc that price is delicious and hard to pass up, but at the same time throwing money away is still throwing money away.
So I found a NIB Intel i7-3770k for $150 and it is sold as is.
I do not have a way of testing it so I am wondering how Intel handles a warranty claim if and when I test this CPU and it is bunk will they allow me to RMA it w/o proof or purchase.
Most companies that I have dealt with have...
