To Everyone
Please wake up! There is no “free lunch” – if it is too good to be true, it usually is! That is what we hear all the time from victims of fake flash.
Sorry but buying a memory storage device is not like buying socks! There is no heavy discount. If you believe you are going to get a super bargain, then you are on your way to becoming another victim and you might just lose precious information too.
It is amazing just how many people are willing to jump off the cliff into fake flash hell!
You get what you pay for folks! Read up on the costs for chips. The only profit for true flash capacity is in volume selling. There is little mark up for true capacity chips. Surprise!
The traffic to my site on fixing fakes shows just how bad the problem really is. We try to help, but you need to know it is very sad and a lot of effort. The flash drive chips in most fakes are factory rejects. I would not trust them. Imagine how you are going to feel if you bought a 16GB and somehow manage to return it to it’s true 4GB size, after spending 16 to 24 hours of your time? What do you earn per hour in your day job?
Stay away from eBay! It is not a safe place to buy mp players, memory cards or usb pensticks.
