mediumsizebill Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – USA

Posted by KittyFireFlash on June 1, 2009

mediumsizebill is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Based in the United Statues mediumsizebill sold those ancient and most classic of fakes at an advertised capacity of 8GB. SOSFakeFlash knows them only too well, they are still floating about in bargain bins. eBay sellers out for quick profit snap them up only to have the fake usb flash chips snap right back when buyers discover the awful truth.

If you see this second generation packaging, do not bid, do not buy, DO NOT SELL IT! Unless it is advertised at 256MB to 1GB! Beware of those little stickers – they are the calling sign of false capacity! Never rely on any size reported by an operating system and make sure you test with the recommended software before storing any data on them! The good news is that these drives are easy to take apart to decode the controller chip and flash drive chip to find repair software. But do you really want to? Your real capacity is going to be small!

Important Reading:

Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.

Don’t forget to leave the calling card of “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” in your feedback to help others. Do not change your feedback to get a refund – you will only create more victims. See what we have on file.
