Gremlin in China sells fraudsters’ favourite to ebayer in France

Here we have a gremlin from China who sold an ebay member in France the fraudsters’ favourite flash drive. This model has been sold by umpteen fraud IDs in China. Such drives cause file corruption and data loss.

No one should buy flash memory items from the far east. So far none of those who bought flash memory from bobby-seller seems to have tested their items as all left good feedback.

We think all flash memory from this seller will prove to be fake capacity. As usual 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.

Ebay member in France lists 128GB DT 150 – counterfeit!

As Kingston do not make the DataTraveler 150 model of flash drive in 128GB the flash drives listed by bg-intl must be counterfeits. We expect Kingston will ask ebay to remove them for sale – anyone who bought one should claim a refund immediately. A quick phone call to Kingston will confirm what we are saying about these being counterfeit so there is no excuse for buyers not being refunded.

Plenty of chance to destroy your data with these flash drives

Seller kuailedwo is offering ebayers of losing vast amounts of data with these “64GB” USB flash drives – all at amazing prices, but then of course they will be amazingly fake.

Listings by this ebayer for 32GB USB flash drives seem dodgy

If these 32GB USB flash drives listed by new ebay seller 2009batfink are genuine why is there no mention of the fact that it is a Sandisk Ultra Backup in the listing?

Sandisk is a respected and reliable brand – if you were selling genuine Sandisk flash drives would you not mention the brand in your listings? We would!!

We suspect that the lack of any mention of Sandisk may have something to do with the warning notice shown below.

This notice comes up when you try to list certain brand name items, including Sandisk flash drives, on ebay.

It is one of the few things ebay does to try and prevent counterfeits being listed on the site.

Be aware that counterfeit flash memory is always fake capacity and therefore dangerous to your files – eventually they will be lost/corrupted.

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