FAKE 16GB 32GB 64GB – Conversations Between A Fake Flash Seller and A Victim – The Truth About the Scam Exposed

Why are fake usb pen sticks, MP players and memory cards sold on eBay? The false capacity ranging from 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 60GB 64GB 120GB 240GB 260GB 360GB to 500GB sizes.

One size is advertised but the true size is much smaller! You buy a 16GB MP player but only get 2GB or 4GB of storage. You buy a 16GB usb flash drive and get 1GB or 2GB of storage, maybe 4GB if you are lucky. You buy a 16GB memory card and only get 2GB or 4GB. When it comes to usb flash drives and memory cards, the digital alteration of the controller flash chip is deadly – you lose your data! Do the ebay sellers know what they are doing? Is there a reason?

Recently SOSFakeFlash asked for stories, experiences. We received one, an explicit conversation between a fake flash seller and a buyer victim. It dates to the summer of 2008 and nothing since has changed. It is published exactly as received. It might be long but if you want answers start reading!

Presented by Dave:

Hi,

My names Dave and I only recently came across your site – I think it’s great and these people need to be stopped. A long while ago I had a problem with a cheap MP4 player and began talking to the seller on Skype, the conversation became very interesting! I’ll let you read!! :

I will say that it is very long, so you don’t have to read all of it, but if you have the time, you can. If not the middle bit is interesing. I might have gotten a bit harsh at times, but they were harsh to me in first place!

[24/06/2008 16:54:34] davidharryprosser says: no
[24/06/2008 16:54:37] davidharryprosser says: the chocolate
[24/06/2008 16:55:23] davidharryprosser says: i am just a little worried as i have found websites that say some companies are hacking their mp4 players to look like they are larger capacity than they really are
[24/06/2008 16:55:47] luckytrade says: dont worry about this,
[24/06/2008 16:56:09] luckytrade says: it that is the chocolate, then it supports the AMV format
[24/06/2008 16:56:15] davidharryprosser says: ok
[24/06/2008 16:56:22] luckytrade says: and it will need you to use the converter in the disc
[24/06/2008 16:56:32] luckytrade says: if you didnt find it,i will send you one
[24/06/2008 16:56:50] davidharryprosser says: i have done than and all files are amv but it says format error sometimes!
[24/06/2008 16:57:26] luckytrade says: we suggest you to use the Converter in the disc
[24/06/2008 16:57:34] davidharryprosser says: i have
[24/06/2008 16:57:47] luckytrade says: or this is the link for you to get the converter:http://www.tinydeal.com/techsupport/AMV4.05.zip
[24/06/2008 16:58:02] davidharryprosser says: i have used the converter already
[24/06/2008 16:58:43] luckytrade says: so it still doesnt work??
[24/06/2008 16:58:49] davidharryprosser says: no
[24/06/2008 16:58:53] davidharryprosser says: it still doesnt work
[24/06/2008 16:59:03] davidharryprosser says: it is only on some of the videos and some of the songs
[24/06/2008 16:59:09] davidharryprosser says: it seems to be very random
[24/06/2008 16:59:34] luckytrade says: do you mean that some video can work?
[24/06/2008 16:59:40] davidharryprosser says: yes
[24/06/2008 16:59:45] davidharryprosser says: and so can some songs
[24/06/2008 16:59:54] luckytrade says: i see
[24/06/2008 16:59:56] davidharryprosser says: i have 2.6GB of data on it
[24/06/2008 17:00:23] luckytrade says: so i think that must be faulty,what about i replace you another one?
[24/06/2008 17:01:23] davidharryprosser says: that it ok
[24/06/2008 17:01:36] davidharryprosser says: are you definately sure it will work and be able to hold a full 4GB???
[24/06/2008 17:02:18] luckytrade says: sure, let me know your item number
[24/06/2008 17:02:43] davidharryprosser says: of the one i bought?
[24/06/2008 17:03:08] luckytrade says: yes, but i would like you to ship it back first
[24/06/2008 17:03:10] luckytrade says: ok??
[24/06/2008 17:03:41] luckytrade says: and then let me know the parcel number or tracking number,once i get this, i will ship you another one asap, what do you think??
[24/06/2008 17:04:00] davidharryprosser says: will i have to pay for postage?
[24/06/2008 17:04:24] luckytrade says: better
[24/06/2008 17:04:40] davidharryprosser says: ?? what do you mean better?
[24/06/2008 17:04:58] luckytrade says: if you can pay for it back,then it is better
[24/06/2008 17:05:13] luckytrade says: you know i will reship you another one for free of charge
[24/06/2008 17:05:57] davidharryprosser says: can you possibly pay me for the postage back?
[24/06/2008 17:06:37] luckytrade says: if i can, i will. but our principle is buyer to pay for it back
[24/06/2008 17:07:07] luckytrade says: seller reship it at his own
[24/06/2008 17:07:30] davidharryprosser says: but it is not my problem it is not working
[24/06/2008 17:08:48] luckytrade says: what about i share it with you?
[24/06/2008 17:09:03] davidharryprosser says: ok im not sure how much it is
[24/06/2008 17:09:36] davidharryprosser says: and i would just like to say thankyou for shipping the other items i bought so quickly that is good service, are there many people employed by your company?
[24/06/2008 17:10:03] luckytrade says: so i hope you can show me the receipt for it back, so that i can pay the half postage for you, ok?
[24/06/2008 17:10:29] davidharryprosser says: i will try to find it now
[24/06/2008 17:11:14] luckytrade says: thanks.i have to go now, if any news,please just leave me message, ok??
[24/06/2008 17:11:52] davidharryprosser says: ok
[24/06/2008 17:12:09] luckytrade says: thanks~~~ 😀
[26/06/2008 17:53:48] davidharryprosser says: i have just sent you an email do you want to read it first or shall i tell you what i wrote now?
[26/06/2008 17:54:50] luckytrade says: let me know what’s up
[26/06/2008 17:55:02] davidharryprosser says: now?
[26/06/2008 17:55:06] luckytrade says: yes
[26/06/2008 17:55:09] davidharryprosser says: ok
[26/06/2008 17:55:34] davidharryprosser says: well i am very sad to hear about the different capacity and that it can only hold 2gb. Why was it advertised as 4gb?!
[26/06/2008 17:56:16] luckytrade says: sorry about this, if you need a real 4gb item, i can replace you one
[26/06/2008 17:56:32] davidharryprosser says: how can i be sure that it will really be 4gb?
[26/06/2008 17:57:22] luckytrade says: i promise, i dont want a negative feedback as a seller, you know,right??
[26/06/2008 17:57:36] luckytrade says: so, dont worry about this, i will replace you a real one
[26/06/2008 17:57:43] davidharryprosser says: ok
[26/06/2008 17:58:22] davidharryprosser says: i am also concerned as i have bought several other items from you, including three 4GB touch screen media players. Are these also just 2GB???
[26/06/2008 17:58:56] luckytrade says: no. the touch screen is the real item
[26/06/2008 17:59:01] luckytrade says: dont worry
[26/06/2008 17:59:16] luckytrade says: the memory is true

THEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT….

[26/06/2008 18:00:12] davidharryprosser says: thankyou for telling me this, but why were some of your items advertised as 4gb when they are realy 2gb. Why did you lie?
[26/06/2008 18:00:38] luckytrade says: if you were here, you will know why i do this
[26/06/2008 18:01:14] luckytrade says: that is because if i made it a real item, then i will lose money on every transaction
[26/06/2008 18:01:27] luckytrade says: so as a seller,may i ask you some understanding?
[26/06/2008 18:04:59] luckytrade says: ????
[26/06/2008 18:05:57] luckytrade says: so,may i ask you to send that one back to me so that i can replace you a real one??
[26/06/2008 18:25:47] davidharryprosser says: i was just away i am back now
[26/06/2008 18:26:23] davidharryprosser says: ok i understand why you advertise your items different but don’t you think it is unfair for your customers?
[26/06/2008 18:27:35] luckytrade says: yes,i know, but sorry,i have no choice, just like you,if my customers find this problem,then i will be honest to them, i will replace them a true one
[26/06/2008 18:27:50] davidharryprosser says: ok ok thankyou for saying this
[26/06/2008 18:27:52] luckytrade says: really feel shame about this, so i promise will replace them a real one
[26/06/2008 18:28:26] davidharryprosser says: and the real one will have 4gb?@
[26/06/2008 18:28:46] luckytrade says: yes
[26/06/2008 18:28:52] davidharryprosser says: ok

AND THE REST OF THE CONVERSATION…

[26/06/2008 18:29:40] luckytrade says: so may i ask you to send that one back?
[26/06/2008 18:29:49] davidharryprosser says: ok i think i will
[26/06/2008 18:29:59] davidharryprosser says: what about the slim 4gb one i bought
[26/06/2008 18:30:10] davidharryprosser says: this is the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110262583843&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=001
[26/06/2008 18:30:28] davidharryprosser says: is it also only 2gb instead of 4gb
[26/06/2008 18:30:40] luckytrade says: well, if it works properly,then i think the best idea is to do the partial refund, what do you think??
[26/06/2008 18:31:03] luckytrade says: it is really happy to talk with you, because you understand me, really appreciated
[26/06/2008 18:31:47] davidharryprosser says: i have not tried the slim one to see if it works yet, but i am asking for your honesty. Is it really 4gb or is it 2gb?
[26/06/2008 18:32:49] luckytrade says: not a real one, just the touch screen is the real one
[26/06/2008 18:33:41] davidharryprosser says: ok
[26/06/2008 18:34:02] davidharryprosser says: also i am sad to say the the touch screen i bought did not come with a manual or software CD like the other items
[26/06/2008 18:34:10] davidharryprosser says: is it supposed to come with a manual and cd?
[26/06/2008 18:34:46] luckytrade says: sure
[26/06/2008 18:35:04] davidharryprosser says: so
[26/06/2008 18:35:17] davidharryprosser says: can you send a manual?
[26/06/2008 18:36:12] fantasticbid008 says: it will be sent with the item together
[26/06/2008 18:36:23] fantasticbid008 says: do you need an extra manual??
[26/06/2008 18:36:43] davidharryprosser says: yes because the touch screen did not come with a manual and cd
[26/06/2008 18:36:57] davidharryprosser says: so when i send back mine, can you send me an extra manual
[26/06/2008 18:37:46] fantasticbid008 says: well, that is fine, i will send them to you with the real one, but may i ask you to send me an email tomorrow?? let me know this situation so that i can arrange the right thing asap
[26/06/2008 18:39:44] davidharryprosser says: so i will send back the 2 chocolates that i have and the slim one, and you promise you will send me these three items with the real memory and an extra manual.
[26/06/2008 18:40:20] fantasticbid008 says: ok, you pay for them back, and then i pay for them come, ok?
[26/06/2008 18:41:58] fantasticbid008 says: and, can we do the business out of ebay?? because you know the ebay fees is really high, if we can do business out of ebay,then i think it is better, you can pay directly by paypal, what do you think??
[26/06/2008 18:42:13] fantasticbid008 says: i will give you a best price for what you want,ok?
[26/06/2008 18:42:41] davidharryprosser says: ok i am more happy now! 😀
[26/06/2008 18:43:25] davidharryprosser says: what about if i need to buy more items from you, how will i know that they will have real memory and not fake.
[26/06/2008 18:44:07] fantasticbid008 says: well, if you need the real memory,then the price will be a little higher than the fake one, i hope you can accept this,right??
[26/06/2008 18:44:49] fantasticbid008 says: and i want to know if you want the items from me, which do you want? the fake one or real one??
[26/06/2008 18:46:13] davidharryprosser says: well the price i paid on the items i bought must have been over-priced already, so why should i have to pay more. Also, i know that you buy them in for your company at a very small price, so i think that i should not have to pay more
[26/06/2008 18:46:19] davidharryprosser says: and yes i do want the real ones!
[26/06/2008 18:46:50] fantasticbid008 says: so do you mean you dont want to pay for them back??
[26/06/2008 18:47:38] davidharryprosser says: i would prefer not to. and i don’t think it is right that i have to pay more to get the real memory.
[26/06/2008 18:48:14] fantasticbid008 says: but it is very cleared that buyer have to pay all freight if it needs to send it back in the description
[26/06/2008 18:48:49] fantasticbid008 says: and you know, i am honest, i think you pay some postage for them back, but you still can get the real items for little money, you profit
[26/06/2008 18:49:59] fantasticbid008 says: and i just want that we can do business together in the near future, i am credit
[26/06/2008 18:50:09] davidharryprosser says: ok i will pay for the postage to send back to you
[26/06/2008 18:50:10] fantasticbid008 says: you win, then i win
[26/06/2008 18:50:37] davidharryprosser says: but can we do future business out of ebay to avoid high fees?
[26/06/2008 18:50:47] davidharryprosser says: and i can talk to you on here or email about future order
[26/06/2008 18:51:17] fantasticbid008 says: please talk to me here, it is more convinence, if i am not here, just leave me message here, ok??
[26/06/2008 18:51:25] fantasticbid008 says: i think it is better than the email
[26/06/2008 18:52:15] fantasticbid008 says: we recommend the business out of ebay, it is good for you and me, i think
[26/06/2008 18:52:20] davidharryprosser says: ok i am MUCH more happy doing business on here as i know you are there
[26/06/2008 18:52:56] davidharryprosser says: as long as you PROMISE to supply me with real goods with real memory, and not fakes, or i will leave you with negative feedback on the items i bought off you on ebay
[26/06/2008 18:53:33] fantasticbid008 says: right, i can promise, but for the future business, i hope we can deal out of ebay, ok??
[26/06/2008 18:53:56] fantasticbid008 says: and i have to tell you that the price of the real item must be a littler higher than the fake
[26/06/2008 18:54:00] fantasticbid008 says: is this ok??
[26/06/2008 18:54:07] davidharryprosser says: how much higher

[26/06/2008 18:54:39] fantasticbid008 says: you can see the quality is excellent
[26/06/2008 18:54:47] davidharryprosser says: is £22 free postage on the 4gb touch screen ok??
[26/06/2008 18:55:09] fantasticbid008 says: the price depends on how large of your order one time
[26/06/2008 18:55:49] davidharryprosser says: ok

[26/06/2008 18:57:22] davidharryprosser says: also, your touch screen item listing on ebay says “USB 2.0 high speed”, yet when i transfer data to it, it is USB 1.1 speed
[26/06/2008 18:57:55] fantasticbid008 says: is it?? well, i will ask my partner to check it again

[26/06/2008 18:58:43] fantasticbid008 says: do you always buy goods from China?
[26/06/2008 18:59:16] davidharryprosser says: as i am still a small business that is growing, i make orders of 2 to 5 items at a time, but in the future, i may take orders of 10 to 20 items a time
[26/06/2008 19:00:33] fantasticbid008 says: fine, i am happy to supply what you want
[26/06/2008 19:01:20] fantasticbid008 says: so if you need more next time,just tell me here, we discuss the price, then pay it

[26/06/2008 19:02:12] fantasticbid008 says: and also mine 😀
[26/06/2008 19:02:32] davidharryprosser says: but would £40 be ok for two of the real 4gb touch screens, just so i know
[26/06/2008 19:02:48] fantasticbid008 says: no
[26/06/2008 19:03:05] fantasticbid008 says: the touch screen is a little expensive
[26/06/2008 19:03:31] fantasticbid008 says: i need at least £44.5 for two
[26/06/2008 19:05:00] davidharryprosser says: ok how about £45 postage included, like the ebay items
[26/06/2008 19:05:48] fantasticbid008 says: well, can you pay the paypal transaction fees?? that is 3.5%
[26/06/2008 19:06:04] fantasticbid008 says: most of my customers can do this for me
[26/06/2008 19:06:36] davidharryprosser says: so that equals 46.58 for two of the touch screens, postage inlcuded
[26/06/2008 19:07:10] fantasticbid008 says: right
[26/06/2008 19:07:17] davidharryprosser says: that is good!
[26/06/2008 19:07:44] davidharryprosser says: so may i ask, do you have different items in stock, one stock of fake memory, and one of real?
[26/06/2008 19:08:09] fantasticbid008 says: yes
[26/06/2008 19:08:17] davidharryprosser says: ok
[26/06/2008 19:08:34] fantasticbid008 says: so if you place your order, you need the real one,right??
[26/06/2008 19:08:45] davidharryprosser says: yes, that is for sure

[27/06/2008 14:19:07] davidharryprosser says: i said that you should send me the replacement products before i send mine back, so i know you won’t keep them. If you do not want to do this i can simply report ou to ebay for selling faulty items
[27/06/2008 14:19:24] davidharryprosser says: if you send me good real replacements, i wont need to report you
[27/06/2008 14:19:31] davidharryprosser says: i hope you understand
[27/06/2008 14:19:44] fantasticbid008 says: but last time you agree to send them back first!!
[27/06/2008 14:19:49] fantasticbid008 says: why now??
[27/06/2008 14:19:53] davidharryprosser says: i did not agree
[27/06/2008 14:20:09] davidharryprosser says: i said maybe because i was unsure
[27/06/2008 14:20:48] davidharryprosser says: i am sorry for the inconvenience, but it is actually your fault, so can you send them?

[27/06/2008 14:29:20] davidharryprosser says: i think it would be a good idea for you to sell the real items
[27/06/2008 14:29:22] davidharryprosser says: but for now
[27/06/2008 14:29:35] fantasticbid008 says: this is not my will, i can change nothing
[27/06/2008 14:30:04] davidharryprosser says: do you not own the company?

[27/06/2008 14:33:43] fantasticbid008 says: all of my customers have to send them back frist, then we replace for them
[27/06/2008 14:33:48] fantasticbid008 says: why you??
[27/06/2008 14:34:13] davidharryprosser says: because i dont know if i can be sure that the replacement iems will be real
