When a fake flash seller uses private auctions it is VERY important. We have tools that can reconstruct and reveal what was sold – even if a seller has run recently.

Finally sincerefriend200888 has now been found out. But how many victims? This is the problem with Private Auctions. No ebayer should ever bid on any flash device auction, if a seller uses private auctions. You have a 99.99999% Guarantee the seller is selling fake flash!

Missions Available:

1. Report His listings To eBay (A Fake Flash Angel Mission)

2. Open Season (A Fake Flash Commando Mission)

We aren’t going to explain what this means. We don’t and of course won’t officially acknowledge such naughty behavior. Commandos are on their own as is typical for any such missions in our world.

The only thing we can say is that this seller doesn’t respect the selling rules and is estimated now to have sold over 2000+ drives. We haven’t had a chance to do a new probe – it takes a fair amount of time.
