naffy23k Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – United Kingdom

Posted by KittyFireFlash on June 16, 2009

naffy23k is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Kingston DataTraveler usb Flash drives. Registered in the United Kingston naffy23k was recently featured in SOSFakeFlash’s consumer education week: naffy23k eBay Fake Flash Seller vs H2testw and eBay Victims

Fake Flash seller naffy23k actually claimed that the program H2testw was fake and not his usb flash drives. He triumphantly announced that the buyer lost his paypal claim. In doing so he unwittingly made it easy for other buyers to test with the programme and report to SOSFakeflash.

naffy23k eBay fake flash seller demonstrates just how ignorant and foolish some eBay sellers can be. Interested in quick unreasonable profit and not willing to test and research their merchandise. Small sellers like this are a serious danger to eBay members interested in purchasing usb flash devices on eBay.

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.

    What do you mean not investigated? Who needs any investigation? If you see a green and white Kingston being sold as anything other than 2GB then (sure as eggs is eggs) it is a fake. We all know that fraudsters re-program discontinued drives (Kingston no longer sell these) to higher capacities!
