Customer incorrectly accuses Samsung of scamming over TV size by measuring width instead of diagonal

False advertisement. Purchased the Samsung 8 series TU8000 50". After un-packing I found that the 50" I purchased was actual 44". How's that! The box is only 49" there no way with the foam protection the TV could be 50". See pictures and video. This is a scam. I need my money or a 50" Samsung TV

This image is a screenshot of a 1-star verified Amazon product review for a 50-inch Samsung 8 series TU8000 TV, posted in the United States on June 12, 2020. The reviewer complains of false advertising, claiming the 50-inch TV they received is only 44 inches wide, and the shipping box is only 49 inches wide, so they assert they were scammed and demand a refund or a correct 50-inch TV. They include photos showing them measuring the horizontal width of the TV with a tape measure, unaware that TV sizes are universally measured diagonally (a 50-inch diagonal TV does in fact have a width of roughly 44 inches). A note at the bottom shows 642 people marked the incorrect review as helpful, adding to the ironic humor of the situation.

The content originates from a real public customer review posted on Amazon. It was later reposted as a meme on 9Gag under the original title "Scammers are everywhere", playing on the irony that the reviewer is the party making an ignorant mistake, rather than the seller running a scam. It circulates online as a lighthearted joke about common consumer misunderstandings of product measurement standards.
