Is this a Scam?

A listing for a Xeon CPU on Amazon:

I did a search for the email address of the seller & the top item was this:

It smells fishier than a bag of mackerels.

I checked with Amazon via their online chat & the operator said it was a legit listing & Amazon would resolve any problems with the order.

So how does the scam work?

Scam. They get you to pay outside of the Amazon system. If you do that, you won't have protection from Amazon and you will lose your money.

This. They will offer you a further discount to buy outside of Amazon. You'll never see the item or your money again.

That explains it.

I hope they will remove the listing.

Any time you see a listing with an email address in the description, its a scam.
