allproductsold1 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Based in Hong Kong this seller targeted the UK and Europe with a vengence using private auctions to hide his counterfeit flash drive selling.

Knowing he was being found out he just turned his feedback to private, this makes him double devious. SOSFakeFlash is rushing this alert out the door for his victims to find.

Trying to use private auctions is no longer a good hiding place. Ebayers are turning over the rocks and dragging fake flash sellers from their dark hiding places. It may be more difficult and it might take longer but they will be found. What is amazing is not simply the number of 16GB drives sold, it is how much money allproductsold1 has earned. He is a perfect example of what is wrong with eBay. eBay is powerless in addressing sellers of fake flash it seems and when sellers like allproductsold1 exploit eBay’s weakness there is good money to be made. Do you know just how much allproductsold1 has earned with his fake flash scam?
