We are certain that this USB flash drive listed on ebay by claudioana will have nowhere near the advertised 32GB capacity. We think this is a fake capacity flash drive purchased on ebay from a fraudulent seller in the far east. Why do we think this? Because ebay seller claudioana bought items from a number of proven and supected ebay sellers of fake flash memory items and seems to be re-selling them.

The suspect and known fake flash fraudsters claudioana bought items from include newest_product, flashworld777, crystalpalace1987, inaltd (suspended by ebay), yaocard (another suspended eBay fake memory seller, who also used the ebay ID yaonice), genuineness2009 (also suspended) and johnsonmall (suspended) – we conclude that all flash memory items (flash drives, memory cards etc) from claudioana will be fakes that corrupt files.

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.
