Counterfeit Transcend JetFlash V30 USB Flash Drives Sold On Ebay Hong Kong Seller Ring

Posted by KittyFireFlash on March 11, 2009

Beware of 16GB and 32GB Transcend JetFlash V30 flash drives being sold on eBay! A victim of a 32GB counterfeit JetFlash V30 flash drive on eBay sold by seller hellopetpet, reported in to SOSFakeflash. eBay and Paypal gave him the run around. He dealt with it.

He tried to get eBay to listen. He got no where. Like most victims he began to investigate and sent both eBay and SOSFakeFlash a list of suspect sellers. Matthew decided publish the results of his tests for everyone to see: Results for JetFlash V30

What was his reward for doing the right thing? To be punished by eBay of course!

Matthew seems to have received a very light sentence. Many eBayers have been victimized in very nasty ways by eBay for either warning eBay or warning members or both! Of course this doesn’t stop eBay members from continuing. Members are fighting back. They also learn from fake flash sellers too.

Because of Matthew’s detective work on behalf of fellow members, SOSFakeflash has uncovered what appears to be another counterfeit ring on eBay.

This is a new one operating in Hong Kong and could very well be one person using many id’s again. The registration of the id’s and the pattern of sales fit perfectly. Also the merchandise being sold – not only are the Transcend JetFlash V30 flash drives suspect, but ANYTHING these sellers offer in any advertised capacity for usb flash drives.

In mid January 2009, due to aggressive publishing by SOSFakeflash quite a few sellers were suspended by eBay. As the FrankenFlash project has said many times, this does little to address the issue. It only prevents eBayers from checking their listings for details and confuses them for filing claims. Meanwhile the listings and evidence disappear and both eBay, Fake Flash Seller and PayPal get to keep the profits. Clever is it not?

Here is the evidence on the current counterfeit ring for Transcend JetFlash V30:
