Seller in New Zealand selling fake 64GB Kingston DT 150 drives
Although pictures in both this listing and one in which seller russianznz is auctioning one of these rather than using buy it now clearly show a 64GB Kingston DataTraveler 150 drive no mention of the names Kingston or DataTraveler are given in the listings. Read the rest of this entry »
Another seller on ebay Australia with suspect 64GB DT 150’s
Seems that clayweather is another ebayer in Australia with suspect 64GB Kingston DataTraveler flash drives here. Buyers should check serial numbers with Kingston.
We advise everyone who buys flash memory items to test them with the free program h2testw irrespective of where they were purchased – otherwise you run the risk of data loss and corruption.
Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have purchased a false capacity device on ebay
Another devious ebay gremlin from China by the look of things
Seems we have a rather devious gremlin from China here.
Seller bawawa10009898 is selling the fraudsters’ favourite flash drive (sample listing shown above) in private ebay auctions.
This seller has cunningly made some auctions for loss-making earbuds private too! Read the rest of this entry »
Seems we have another gremlin seller of fake flash on ebay
Seems we have another ebay gremlin here (an ebay gremlin is an ID set up by fraud gangs to sell fake flash technology).
This gremlin is offering the fraudsters favourite flash drive at 32Gb capacty. Of course that’s not the real capacity, just the fake capacity shown to the operating system – the real capacity of drives from lgrs8248 will probably be 4GB or less.
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.
Yet another gremlin seller from China listing fake flash on ebay
You cannot buy a genuine new 32GB flash drive at the price advertised by seller lingling080 – all you will get for this price is a fake capacity device that will corrupt your files after a while.
We advise everyone who buys flash memory items to test them with the free program h2testw irrespective of where they were purchased – otherwise you run the risk of data loss and corruption.

Gremlin ID lists one model of 32GB flash drive on ebay
Here we go again – one of the apparently disposable gremlin IDs registered on ebay China listing a familiar model of flash drive.
We are certain the USB flash drives from errtgiojsdhf09 will prove to be fake capacity.
Fake capacity flash memory items will eventually cause file loss and corruption for anyone using them.
As usual we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.

Suspect listings for 64GB DT150 flash drives on ebay Germany
Seller twinsbud86 has listed a number of 64GB Kingston DataTraveler 150 flash drives with a start price of 1 euro. We think twinsbud86 purchased these from a fraudulent supplier and that they are counterfeit and fake capacity rather than defective as the seller seems to think. If the seller checked the serial numbers with Kingston then the truth would become clear.

Looks like this is a new ebay ID for a familiar fraud gang
Seems this is a new gremlin ID set up by a familiar fraud gang to sell fake flash drives on ebay.
The model being sold by hppopp1 is a classic fake sold by most of the fraudsters in China. In our experience these are always fake capacity and cause data loss and corruption.
