Someone tries to sell fake USB flash drive as 1 terrabyte??

leave a comment »

Someone is apparently attempting to sell the item pictured on the left as a 1 terrabyte Kingston flash drive – not on ebay but elsewhere on the Internet.

The highest capacity flash drive currently available is indeed from Kingston but it’s 256GB not 1TB and is quite a lot larger that this! It will be a very long time before (if ever) it is possible to store 1TB on a device this size. At the moment we can’t decide whether to quote Victor Meldrew “I don’t beleive it” or Snoopy “Good greif!”

What sort of idiot is this person? Does he or she not realise that this sort of thing is a criminal offence commited in public in front of the whole world?

For those of you with a few brain cells:

ebay fake flash fraudster yiping888 sells 300 items in one listing!

leave a comment »

EBAY ALERT! 300 counterfeit and fake capacity 128GB Kingston DT200 USB flash drives sold on eby by yiping888 in a single ebay listing!!

We bet that ebay fraudster yiping888 could not beleive his (or her) luck when a single ebay member bought no less than 280 of the 300 counterfeit and fake capacity 128GB DataTraveler USB flash drives in a buy it now listing (ebay item number 130385485482) – what a windfall!

The seller can now sit back and wait to see whether anyone was smart enough to think there might be something a bit suspect about the tiny price (£22 per item) and decide to search the internet for information. Let’s hope they do – and see this bit of advice:

It costs an awful lot more than £22 to manufacture a genuine 258GB Kingston DataTraveler 200 USB flash drive! If you were foolish enough to buy these from yiping888 then you have landed yourself a fake. These flash drives should all have individual serial numbers which can be verified with Kingston.

We can say without a shadow of a doubt that buyers will not be able to verify these. If the flash drive arrives and you test the first 8192 megabytes (8GB) with h2testw you are likely to discover that errors are reported by the program on anything after about 3800 megabyties.

Why? Because these are counterfeits and counterfeits are always fake capacity. Selling counterfeit items is a criminal offence – but with the anonymity that ebay gives sellers it can be rather difficult to track determined fraudsters (especially in China) down.

This is well illustrated by a recent incident. A member of our team asked repeatedly for contact details for a seller (because the address given by the seller for return of a faulty item looked highly suspect) but got no details from ebay despite numerous requests, messages and even phone calls to the Phillippines! Trust them? trust them not!!

There are also lots of generic (non brand name) fake capacity flash drives sold on ebay – more difficult still for buyers than getting refunds for obviously illegal counterfeits! All fake capacity memory items report a false capacity to the operating system and corrupt anything after the real capacity (usually 4GB or less) is exceeded.

We will be watching out for ebay listings from the buyer who bought 280 of these – they obviously were not for personal use! If you spot a likely listing before we do then please report it here!!

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 your fake if testing confirms you have purchased fake capacity flash memory on ebay.

Fake MP players sold on ebay by hititems – known ebay fraudster!

leave a comment »

Seller hitech2day is a known and proven fake flash flash memory fraudster who has been selling fake MP players and memory cards on ebay for at least a year and is part of a well known ebay fraud gang that has operated under many different ebay IDs.

This devious fraudster changed ID from hitech2day to hititems. Fraudsters frequently do this in order to avoid people noticing that they are the self same ebay fraudsters that have been previously reported about on this and other blogs about flash memory fraud. This devious seller is also using private listings in an attempt to hide this fraud as well as attempting to blackmail victims into revising feedback.

Anyone who buys an mp3 / mp4 player from hititems will find that the built in memory will corrupt their video or music after a while becase the player is programmed to report a false capacity – the real storage capacity is a lot less than that reported.

Fake 128GB USB flash drives listed on ebay by whsmith1980

leave a comment »

This USB and the 128GB Kingston flash drive listed on ebay by whsmith1980 are both fake capacity flash drives. The Kingston is also counterfeit – so whsmith1980 is breaking the law by listing it for sale! A fake capacity USB flash drive inevitably corrupts files. As the seller is using private listings we wonder if this means seller whsmith1980 knows they are fakes.

This 128GB Kingston DataTraveler 200 USB flash drive was sold on ebay by biny1230 for £15.99 – less than the cost of manufactuing the flash memory chips in a genuine 128GB flash drive – let alone the other components.

Beware of 128GB USB flash drives sold on ebay by compnet10

leave a comment »

So the 128GB USB flash drive in the listing above has been tested with h2testw has it? In that case we can only assume that compnet10 knows it’s a fake as every single USB flash drive that we tested which came in this packaging was fake capacity which corrupts files.

Ebay seller compnet10 previously sold even more obvious fakes (see left) earlier this month. There is no such thing as a genuine Sony Vaio flash drive – they are fakes from China.

We have a visual comment about this seller’s “testing” (see right).

We urge anyone who bought a flash drive from compnet10 to test it immediately themselves.

ebayer edgarantony lists fake flash drive bought from 09shameer

leave a comment »

UK ebay member edgarantony has listed this fake USB flash drive (or memory stick) at auction on ebay. All Sony Vaio USB flash drives are counterfeit, fake capacity and corrupt files – Sony do not use the Vaio name for flash drives! This drive was apparently bought from 09shameer (another UK ebay member) in February. None of those who bought this fake from 09shameer seemed to realise they had a fake. They probably just looked at what the operating system reported – big mistake!

We reported at the end of March that we thought there was something rather fishy about feedback for 09shameer in this post – we now wonder whether, in addition to the other matter that made us supicious before, there may be a connection between the ebay IDs edgarantony and 09shameer.

fake 32GB Sony flash drive listed on ebay by bazar-levante

leave a comment »

Although marked with the Sony name this USB flash drive was not made by Sony but by fraudsters in China. The real capacity of this flash drive is nowhere near 32GB – it is a fake capacity USB flash drive which corrupts files once the real capacity has been filled.

If the 64GB Kingston DataTraveler 200 USB flash drives listed on ebay Australia by calibre-351 the seller risks making quite a loss by selling them at auction.

Seller aussie_goods2010 seems to be involved in a dropshipping arrangement with a fraudulent supplier.

If this 128GB Kingston DataTraveler USB flash drive listed at auction on ebay by unclesam1957 is genuine then it looks as though this seller is likely to make a huge loss on the sale. We have a feeling that it will turn out to be counterfeit and fake capacity like most of those sold on ebay.

Diese Kingston DataTraveler Flash-Laufwerk ist nicht defekt. falsche Kapazität

Diese Kingston DataTraveler Flash-Laufwerk ist gefälschten und wurde bewusst von den Betrügern in China programmiert, um eine falsche Kapazität angezeigt. Das Laufwerk wird über alles rund 3,5 Gigabyte corupt. Verkäufer gulsun85 offenbar aus diesen eine betrügerische Großhändler in China gekauft. Der Verkäufer offenbar nicht ganz verstanden, was die Ausgabe von H2testw eigentlich gemeint ist. Dies ist, was sagt gulsun85 in der Auflistung:

defekt! –> Kein Rückgaberecht!
kann problemlos mit HP freeware “HPUSBFW_v2.2.3.exe” auf FAT32 formatiert werden.
wird als 128GB Stick erkannt
HD Tune zeigt keine Fehler
kleinere Datenmengen (2 bis 4 GB) lassen sich speichern und sind auch nach Umstecken vorhanden, bei größeren Datenmengen zeigen sich jedoch Fehler
ein Test mit der freeware “H2testw 1.4” weist Fehler auf.
