Escalation In False Capacity USB Fake Memory eBay! SOSFakeFlash News July 3rd, 2009

Warning to all eBayer members. There is a serious escalation in fake flash usb drives being offered by eBay sellers in the Orient.

SOSFakeFlash with your assistance managed to have many sellers suspended. Their sentence in eBay fake flash prison ended, they are back with a vengeance.

New seller id’s have appeared. Old sellers, having recently been shut down are using their stock of id’s prepared long in advance.

Everywhere we turn, we are finding new sellers. The objective of the fraudsters is simply this, Hit and Run. Massive listings over a very short period of time. Typical preparation is to sell cheap items for less than $1 us or £1. Often it is a stylus, earphones or an MP Player sock. They will sell these to build positive feedback and also to compensate for any negative feedback from frauded buyers. This strategy is used by small sellers and powersellers. The game of numbers.

We need your help! There are just too many of them. The major target is 16GB capacity. The period they will list has decreased. It can be as short as 5 days, with massive volume or 3 days on followed by 3 days off. We need you to patrol your eBay country regions. Look for suspect usb flash drives in 16GB. Please leave your comments and reports on this post to assist us. How can you make a difference?

SOSFakeFlash Consumer Education Week 20090605 – 20090612. The Problem of Counterfeit and Fake Memory Sold On Ebay

SOSFakeFlash published a series of articles to educate consumers on the problem of fake mp players, usb flash drives and memory sticks sold on ebay during the week of June 5th 2009 to June 12th 2009. It includes information collected by the FrankenFlash Project over a 13th month period. The objective was to increase global awareness about the problem of false capacity devices being sold on eBay and to assist members to avoid buying false capacity items. These devices can be dangerous to files as they will be lost the moment the true capacity of the flash drive chips is exceeded.

Consumers will fall prey to fake flash sellers, not only in the Orient but any country if they make a dangerous mistake. Not understanding the true costs of nand flash drive chips. Many assume that the reason for the low prices on eBay is the result of cutting out the “Middle Man”. Anyone who follows this line of reasoning is in for a very unpleasant surprise. The FrankenFlash project after many months of research reveals the truth in the hope that people will avoid becoming victims in the future. The old saying “You get what you pay for” is stinging!

eBay Victims do not leave postive Feedback or change FB to postive to get refunds!

SOSFakeFlash monitors feedback on fake flash sellers. We are NOT happy to see people change their feedback to neutral or positive to get a refund! Why?

eBay and PayPal’s feelings toward eBay members

eBay members who try to warn others – eBay’s actions

You, the victim in action!

Fake Flash Reprogrammers

eBay Fake Flash sellers, the joy of greed and your pain.

We need more scouts patrolling eBay and rescuing fellow buyers with messages to test. Why? Have a look at the list of countries impacted!

tyeru2007 Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert – China – How MP Fake Players Continue To Be Sold On eBay!

tyeru2007 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) MP Players. Registered in China, tyeru2007 sold more than 2400+ and has earned over £29000!

There are so many frauded buyers out there! Just how many will be smart enough to learn the truth? Generally there is nothing technically wrong with MP Players sold on eBay. The device is not defective! The issue is the memory chip! It has been reprogrammed to lie about it’s real capacity – THAT eBay buyers is why you are having problems. You can’t put all your music on the player according to the advertised capacity, there is no place for it on the memory chip!

We find it both sad and alarming that so many buyers of mp players are deceived. There is so much money being made at your expense. Please read the articles on mp players listed here. You have a decision to make. Do you want these sellers to continue making fabulous profits and for eBay and PayPal to enjoy their cut? Or do you feel that it should be stopped? Every person can make a difference.

Over 18 months ago, an ebay member was frauded. That ebayer, like you began to research on the internet, where education on the subject of fake usb flash drives, mp players and memory cards begins. The victim was horrified and started to contact other ebay members to see if they to suffered the same fate. It was not long before 1 became 2, became more. The fight against this fraud began!

So you found this website? It exists as part of the FrankenFlash Project, started by those victims. Is it useful to you? A lot of work and effort is involved. Victims help. They sign on for a tour of duty. They contribute, fight back and then make room for new people to take their place. Every victim can do something, even if it is only leaving negative feedback for a fraudster or reporting their fake to us. Others patrol and alert on suspect sellers. Every little effort makes a difference. A lot of people feel that they get satisfaction in fighting back. No one likes to be frauded. Some have suffered terrible data loss with usb flash drives and memory cards.

It is less severe for MP Players, you can always download music files again to a real mp player – all you lose is your money, your time and end up learning a lot in your quest to try and make your mp player become it’s true capacity size. That can even be fun! You learn a lot.

Unfortunately there are some eBay members who suffer a terrible financial loss. These are buyers who though they could sell them on local markets and make a good profit. Times are hard and many people are looking for ways to put bread on the table. A lot of people think that buying mp players from the orient inexpensively is the solution. It is a hot item! It is also difficult to obtain in a many country’s at a price people can afford. For these eBay members the consequences are devastating!

If you bought 20 or 50 or sometimes a 100, imagine the horror awaiting you! The fake flash mp player seller knows this. They will twist your tail! GOD help you if you dare to leave negative feedback! They will demand you leave glowing positive feedback and then to add insult to injury only refund you a 1/4 of the price you paid, excluding shipping and handling. That is when they chose to be nice to you. Otherwise they will hide behind Paypal’s skirts and eBay’s too, ordering you to return the fakes. The cost in postage back with insurance and tracking, is terrible in some countries. Frequently they will make sure you send back to an address that doesn’t exist, so they can for once say truthfully, they never received the items. Not a penny will you receive back!

Perhaps you are not sympathetic to someone who buys in volume to sell in their little shop. We are. They did not expect such fraud exists on eBay. they only wanted to feed their families. Having spent so much money they had no choice but to bow to the fake flash fraudster. That is where you come in! You bought because of all the nice positive feedback. You thought it was safe! Little did you know that many were forced into leaving positive feedback and therefore digging the hole you fell into.

You can do what they could not. You can use your feedback to leave the truth! You can also fight back with the same nastiness! Report your fake flash sellers mp players to eBay. Go to every listing and at the bottom of the page, report it! Over and over and over again. Until eBay can’t handle another email.

The only way to stop fake MP Player sellers in the Orient is to fight back! Spend a few evenings making their lives a misery as they have done for so many others. Contact buyers. Report their listings and post any to any internet site you can find that deals with the subject of mp players. Return to your fake flash seller the full measure of what they did to you. If this is not done, they win, you lose. We in the FrankenFlash Project will just grow old, our fingers worn to pencil stubs, fighting a problem that will not end. Do you feel that greed should rule?

usbislanduk Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – United Kingdom – Mystery Of Promoting Genuine USB Flash Drives As A Local Seller

usbislanduk is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Registered in the United Kingdom, usbislanduk has been confirmed with an HP Counterfeit 8GB usb flash drive.

On July 3rd, SOSFakeFlash announced a new zero tolerance policy for reported eBay sellers with supporting evidence. On July 5th, TechChips posted on the SOSFakeFlash Notice Board, a warning about local eBay sellers waving their national flags in an attempt to reassure buyers that items were genuine. On July 6th, 2009 usbislanduk was reported to SOSFakeFlash.

usbislanduk used listing titles such as:

DONT BUY FAKE 4GB 8GB 16GB USB MEMORY PEN BUY GENUINE

eBay seller usbislanduk who promotes genuine usb flash drives is found not only to sell a counterfeit product, but also a false capacity usb flash drive.

SOSFakeFlash visited HP sites to find a HP DANIEL m220 usb flash drive. It was not found. Not one usb flash drive at HP looked similar to the one sold.

In googling: “HP DANIEL” m220 FLASH MEMORY

The flash drive model was found.

http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/HP_Daniel_usb_flash_memory.html

It appears there is now another brand name to add to the counterfeited list, HP.

This listing by eBay seller usbislanduk is a private auction:

yet another listing for a 4GB USB flash drive pen is “Public” with only a 2 pound difference in price?

There is absolutely no valid reason for private auction at this price point, in fact it is in violation of eBay’s intent for listings in that category. Read: eBay Private Auction Listings – eBay Fake Flash Sellers Prefer – Victims Learn The Meaning The Hard Way – A Guide

There is only one reason SOSFakeFlash knows for using this auction category- to hide the sale details, to hide the truth about the flash item if a buyer complains. To escape detection by eBay and buyers alike.

You should also beware that brand name manufacturers, do not put sticky labels on their packaging for usb flash drives, they are not so penny pinching and are proud of their brands. Sticky labels for flash items indicating capacity generally means one thing, FAKE! usbislanduk has also sold other flash usb items, but they have as yet not been investigated.
