It horrifies me to see how new fraudsters spring up around the world. I used to feel safe buying only only from UK sellers. Now nowhere is safe. Sellers in the UK are now reselling fake flash items they bought – some may not even realise the item is fake. Some are outrageous – such as 128GB flashe drives which (as I understand it) are not yet possible at a size you can stick in your pocket.
