This just has to be counterfeit – no one could sell a genuine flash drive of this type for this price. We think amit4529 has been shopping in fake flash land! Buyers – wake up to reality – you are only going to get fakes at this sort of price!!

If you bought one of these from any seller on ebay we strongly advise you to check with Kingston immediately. All genuine drives of this type have a unique serial number that can be verified with them.

If you find yourself with a counterfeit report in to sosfakeflash with details

  1. When asked if the flash drives advertised were definitely genuine and not fake,an ebay member was answered by amit4529 and shocked at the response.

    “Why you think these drives are fake? If you think they are then dont buy it. I not forcing you to do so. Also all over ebay there are fake trainers, clothes designer clothes, conterfit goods all around. So hey, why don’t you find some of them and deal with them?”

    It seems for some sellers it is OK to sell fakes regardless of the consequences for others. I hope he never decides to sell safety equipment.

  2. Using fake flash drives can have very serious consequences, let alone safety equipment. We have seen this attitude time and again.

    Counterfeit trainers won’t necessarily damage your feet. A counterfeit pair of trousers are unlikely to result in your bum shrivelling up and dropping into the gutter.

    Fake flash memory is an entirely different matter. This will cause files to be corrupted and lost. Seems we may have a very ignorant seller here.
