It happened to me a few years ago, when I ordered for work an i9 9900k, and inside the sealed box was a core 2 duo... After the seller (not Amazon) refused the return, I looked up a bit online, and it's a common practice. I even found rolls of "Intel original" seals for 5€ on eBay.
In those cases I just do a charge back on my credit card.
I immediately ordered a new one from another vendor, as I really needed to build a workstation, and let the purchasing department handle the case. All I know was that the seller did not believe/accept the "wrong cpu story". From their perspective, it was a sealed box...
We need to all start doing unbox9ng videos so we have proof if that happens to us.
