As first glance the sellers claims seem reassuring. Might might appear memoryking626 did not know what he was selling or naive. However the claim #8 – “always tested first before shipping” is a false claim – the 16 GB drive is not 16GB as advertised. It’s true capacity is only 4 GB. Plugging in a drive and looking at the reported sized is not testing! Fake Flash has been digitally altered to “appear” a size – lie. Only proper testing for capacity will confirm that the drive it what it claims to be.
