Seller bfe-clearence is one of a rash of sellers that try to look as though their items are in the UK. Why? Because a lot of buyers on ebay know that most flash memory items from orient is fake. We can’t see any other reason for a seller listing item as if it was in another country other than the fact that they are selling fake items. The 16GB model in the listing above is very familiar to the frankenflash project. It has been sold by many fraudsters.

As always we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.

Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.

Fortunately we don’t think there will be many bidders on the model shown below:

It seems that bfe-clearence was so anxious to offer us his items that he had a slip of the finger and put the decimal point in the wrong place!
