Is disubs the most successful ebay fraudster?

with one comment

Only one confirmed fake flash item from disubs has been reported to the frankenflash project, yet there are many comments indicating that disubs has supplied fake or faulty flash memory items to many buyers. The apparently fake or faulty items that got disubs negative feedback on ebay include USB flash drives, SD cards and MP3/MP4 players – Pay attention ebayers! Always look at seller’s negative feedback – if there is ANY NEG for a seller offering a flash memory item do not bid or buy! Check seller out by looking at the fraudster list on sosfakeflash and checking with previous buyers – only then should you consider buying. If anyone reading this bought a flash memory item from disubs please test your item with h2testw (download free from testing category) and send results along with seller ID and item number to one of these email addresses:
For usb flash drives: sosfakeflash@gmail.com or for other flash items fightflashfraud@gmail.com

Alert! devious fraudster auctionlimited222

without comments

This devious Hong Kong fraudster is now posting listings with his location shown as Canada and elsewhere and keeping buyer ID’s private. This is to cover his fraudster tracks and get away with selling counterfeit/fake capacity Kingston drives (see other postings to learn the difference between counterfeit and fake capacity) in the case of flash memory counterfeits are always fake capacity. NEVER BUY FLASH DRIVES FROM SELLERS WHO KEEP BUYER ID’S PRIVATE – IN OUR EXPERIENCE ALL FLASH DRIVES SOLD LIKE THIS ARE FAKE CAPACITY – AND SOMETIMES COUNTERFEIT TOO!

Fake 16GB Flash Memory USB drives are being dumped on eBay and there is no sign of it stopping. On December 6th, 2008 SOSFakeflash issued a warning to the global community about buying 16GB Flash drives on eBay that was published by FakeFlashNews. See:

Observed since November 2008, eBay Sellers of fake flash devices have unloaded these items in astonishing quantities. It is not unusual for these sellers to list more than 2000+ in a period of three weeks. What the FrankenFlash project feared, an increase in the number of victims is now reality.
