Fake flash memory sellers on eBay have many personalities. In the Orient, most are extremely “polite” as they engage in fraud, it is an art. Elsewhere frauding sellers have a habit of losing their temper when found out. The one thing they have in common is an addiction to the profit selling fake (false capacity) flash memory items on eBay can generate. clicktoblue is no exception. This eBay seller has returned for another round of fake flash selling, this time offering 32GB capacity. He is very skilled at claiming “defective” if a buyer finds something wrong with the usb pen flash drive he sold. He is also very bullish and rude!
Since October 2009 he is offering 32GB capacity at fabulous prices with multiple item listings in buy now, $29.95 US. Last time he sold 16GB fakes for only $19.95 US.
Will clicktoblue be allowed to succeed in his fraud again? It is up to you. His buyers who left positive feedback for the 32GB usb flash drives need to be warned to test them! Have victims record sosfakeflash in their feedback and follow up feedback this time. As always, have victims submit evidence using the report a fake tab .
This time…. SOSFakeFlash would like a buyer to open and photograph the usb flash drive. Unfortunately of the four models currently sold only one will open. (see Proving A Fake USB Flash Memory Pen Drive Stick Pen To Be False Capacity – A Visual Example – Guide Made Easy )The black classic and ancient usb flash drive sold on eBay! The others are sewn and glued, if opened they can not be put back together. The only good news about clicktoblue on eBay is that he confines his fraudulent activites to the United States.

innovico_surplus is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives. Registered in Jersey innovico_surplus was a formerly trusted eBay seller. Recently innovico_surplus has sold many false capacity usb flash drives. There is no indication that this seller has attempted a recall of his merchanidise, warned all buyers to test for the true capacity and refunded as required.
Test results for the 16GB usb flash drive show a 4GB flash memory chip, one of poor quality with many bad sectors for a formatted size of 3.7GB instead of the usual 3.9. Therefore, not only has innovico_surplus sold false capacity but merchandise containing sub standard quality memory chips. In the past, some buyers did say usb pen sticks sold by innovico_surplus tend to have a lower than average final formatted capacity.
Sub standard memory chips are likely to have a lower life expectancy, not good for anyone who intended to archive data.
The 8GB usb pensticks appear to be implicated as well. innovico_surplus has not been careful and vigelent in performing periodic inspections of wholesale merchandise purchased.
SOSFakeFlash revoked innovico_surplus eBay safe seller status in August 2009, removed his nomination article and changed his status on the eBay safe seller list.

shop-till-drops aka Shining_World is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives. Registered in the United Kingdom, shop-till-drops changed her id from Shining_World to avoid detection. shop-till-drops aka Shining_World sold during the summer of 2009: 16GB HI-SPEED USB FLASH MEMORY STICK PEN DISK DRIVE NEW
Described as:
16 GB HI-SPEED USB Flash drive is FASTEST AND NEW in mobile storage. With a capacity of 16GB, it lets you store more digital files than ever before on one drive. 16 GB HI-SPEED USB Flash drive ® helps budget-conscious users break storage barriers, allowing them to easily store and move files in a 16GB device no bigger than a pocket knife. As easy as click and drag, 16 GB HI-SPEED USB Flash drive can hold just about any file you can think of — term papers, theses, digital images, spreadsheets or other important documents.
DT400/16GB 16 GB DataTraveler 400 USB drive (2.0) was a false capacity counterfeit Kingston usb flash drive.
shop-till-drops aka Shining_World has managed to convince buyers who complained that the “item” was faulty. However, test results speak plainly:
H2Test1.4:
The media is likely to be defective.
1003.1 MByte OK (2054528 sectors)
15.0 GByte DATA LOST (31481472 sectors)
Details:11.2 GByte overwritten (23611104 sectors)
0 KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 0 sectors)
3.7 GByte corrupted (7870368 sectors)
1.5 KByte aliased memory (3 sectors)
First error at offset: 0×000000003eb30000
Expected: 0×000000003eb30000
Found: 0×00000000aa55aa55
H2testw version 1.3
Writing speed: 13.6 MByte/s
Reading speed: 19.5 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
Revealing a 1GB memory chip. At issue is not the quantity sold but: 1) not contacting buyers 2) attempting to wiggle way from having sold both false capacity usb flash drives and also a counterfeit Kingston DT400/16 with an id name change. The Genuine DT400/16 is not available everywhere, it is offered by Kingston to the UK market. Attempts at erasing evidence have failed.
Please test your device to ensure you have the advertised capacity with H2testw to ensure you have the advertised capacity. Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.

ajs_socks is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives . Registered in the United Kingdom, ajs_socks is very slippery and skilled at fraud.
In his listings he showed a generic 64GB flash drive, but sent counterfeit Kingston DT150 64GB flash drives instead. Clever. His listing descriptions were:
Brand New USB 2.0 64 GB Key Pen Flash Memory Drive
New 500GB Key Flash Memory Drive USB 2.0 Pen 10%Charity
New 64GB Key Flash Memory Drive USB 2.0 Pen 10% Charity
for:
ajs_socks doesn’t have an issue selling counterfeit items, in fact seems very comfortable in doing so. ajs_socks is a seller in the UK that has learned the secrets of fake flash sellers in the Orient.
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=ajs_socks&Dirn=Received+by
For the 64GB listing SOSFakeFlash was confused a Kingston DT150 was being reported for the seller.
A Victim Of ajs_socks said:
I bought from that exact page and if you notice he uses the same picture throughout all his flash drive sales.
Obviously, if someone was to be selling real 64GB Kingston they would be shouting from the rooftops and display as many pictures as possible.
He does not list any specific brands, but anything just so he can ship whatever he feels like, as long as it is “64GB”.
