&gt;What is going to happen is he will put some POS AM4 CPU he has lying around in (like ryzen 1300) and claim it's fixed.  
  
sounds like he might've swapped OP's perfectly fine CPU off the jump for this one with murdered pins. at best he charges OP $30 and swaps his CPU back in, at worst he pockets the $30 and sells op's perfectly fine CPU back to him at a discount.
