digitalting0303 Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert Devious – Hong Kong

Posted by KittyFireFlash on June 15, 2009

digitalting0303 is devious eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives and memory cards. Registered in Hong Kong digitalting0303 is currently engaging in the use of private auctions.

digitalting0303 is not a new fake flash seller! On October 25, 2008 SOSFakeFlash issued an internet alert: Alert – digitalting0303 – Ebay Fake Flash Seller for selling 32GB usb memory sticks that were fakes!

He received a 90 day suspension from eBay. Recently released from eBay fake flash prison what did he do? What all fake flash sellers do. Begin by selling trivial low priced items at less then £1 to build up his feedback score. Then digitalting0303 went back to what he does best, selling false capacity items! In April digitalting0303 slowly ramped up selling fake digital memory cards and usb flash drives. It is now a flood at over 60 usb flash drives and 20 memory cards available! His frauding assembly line is in full gear!

In his latest fake flash selling spree he has sold more than 4500+ items to the tune of more than £27,000. How does he get away with it? Private auctions of course!

eBay Private Auction Listings – eBay Fake Flash Sellers Prefer – Victims Learn The Meaning The Hard Way – A Guide

This seller needs to be Stopped. If you bought anything from him, please test immediately. Leave immediate negative feedback and make sure to leave the calling card of “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” and describe the false capacity item to help others. Do not change your feedback to get a refund, unless you wish to see him reach 9000+ fakes sold or even more…. When a fraudster uses private auctions this is about the only weapon to bring his score down and alert everyone what he is up to. Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.

This seller needs to be stopped. His buyers warned! If you have any free time please consider:

1. Contact eBayers who left positive feedback. Any feedback that shows “Private” as an item number is a fake flash item. Randomly choose a date in the last 25 days. Older is better as these victims have little time left to test and file a dispute.

2. If you are a victim of this seller, please report any current listings for the item you purchased. Go to the bottom of the listing page and report it. One listing after another. Also report private auction is being used – this is not in the spirit of what eBay intended for private auctions. digitalting0303 is abusing it. It is obvious why.

Our message for eBay:

digitalting0303 was caught before. You suspended him. You should have kicked him off eBay for good. What did YOU do to warn all the people frauded by him in the Fall of 2008? Did you warn the buyers that their 32GB usb flash drives were fakes – false capacity and dangerous to use? No you did not. You quietly pulled his plug and removed the evidence.

What did he do the moment you released him from eBay fake flash prison – your “suspension”? Return to his old ways. It clearly shows who is in control of eBay. Fraudsters rule! You do not.

Will you quietly “suspend” the seller again? So you can remove his listings and hide the evidence from victims and the global public? Your “cut” in this recent frauding is about 13% of his sales.

Or will you actually do the “right thing for once? Contact his buyers, warn them, refund them! Who matters more? Your profits or the eBay members who allow you to have profit and sales? Losing files and the implications for victims can not be “measured”. Stop listening to your “risk management” team and start acting responsibly. By allowing sellers like digitalting0303 on eBay you are implicated in the selling data poison!

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.

How Did kingstonusbcf.com Get Reported As A Seller Of Counterfeit Kingston USB Flash Drives?

Posted by KittyFireFlash on June 13, 2009

Victims of false capacity usb flash drives search the internet for information and help. Google searches have sponsored links to help pay for providing you with a free internet search service. The website kingstonusbcf.com used the sponsored links service to rise high in searches.

SOSFakeFlash has been busy promoting awareness on an outbreak of fake Kingston DT150 USB Flash drives currently flooding into eBay with alarming speed. So when victims search the internet using google and typing in DT150 this is what came up.

PaidAd1

You will clearly see the SOSFakeFlash warning post. On the lower right was kingstonusbcf’s ad. In additional random searches depending on the country zone of google this appeared.

PaidAd2

kingstonusbcf was at the top of the paid sponsorship list. This would be great if you were selling genuine usb flash drives. There is nothing better to heard buyers away from eBay to another site than a fake flash warning. However, if you are an internet seller of false capacity and your victims are searching for information about you or the model they purchased, this is the last thing you want -to be paired with warning about fakes.

kingstonusbcf even appeared inside of SOSFakeFlash. This site is hosted free and occasional ad’s are inserted discretely and tastefully on occasion by wordpress to help fund the site.

kingstonusbcf

Imagine the irony here. kingstonusbcf near the article of a “converstion between a fake flash seller and a victim”. This was quiet unexpected.

On the internet, Kingston, FlashDriveFacts, FakeFlashNews and SOSFakeFlash came up together along with kingstonusbcf.

DT150SearchResultsSitesAndAdds

All would have been fine, if kingstonusbcf was selling true capacity Kingston usb flash drives. In fact kingstonusbcf would do well. Unfortunately this seller’s victims were looking for information on him and the problem. Precisely the goal of the FrankenFlash Project – to help consumers who have been frauded or are confused as to why their flash based device is not working as advertised.

Honest sellers will do well from information like this, fraudster will NOT! kingstonusbcf was found out.

Read The Facts: kingstonusbcf.com Said To Sell Counterfeit Kingston Flash Drives

even Kingston reported this seller was known as a site to sell counterfeits.

The only way to stop this fraud and prevent people from losing data to false capacity usb flash drives is to work together – to report these sellers and promote consumer awareness on a global scale. That is the goal of the FrankenFlash Project.

You make the difference.

zhongel Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – China

Posted by KittyFireFlash on June 13, 2009

zhongel is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Based in China zhongel is the spitting image of our dear haifter and of course is also selling 8 GB MP Players. zhongel is tip toeing through the fake flash tulips in hope of not being discovered. You will get a speedy refund to hush up as zhongel is attempting to be haifter successor. More than 1200+ fake flash items have been dumped so far and the fake flash assembly line is in full gear.

A recent comment at SOSFakeFlash said:

HAIFTER

I see there is a dramatic change in the listings by haifter too. Was it something we said?

haifter was/is the 10th life, zhongel the 11th. So the question is, How many lives can a fake flash seller have?

zhongelReplacinghaifter

Is this cheeky? Does its not demonstrate who rules eBay? Fake Flash sellers rule and eBay is fast asleep, from eating a poisoned fake flash apple? Where is prince charming to wake eBay up! Unfortunately fake flash victims are not inclined toward giving eBay that magic kiss.

If you bought any flash based item from this seller test immediately for true capacity and do not use unless you can confirm you have the advertised capacity. Leave negative feedback immediately if you have a false capacity item. If you left postive, do follow up feedback. Under no circumstances should you revise feedback to get a refund. Contact everyone who left postive feedback for this seller and get them to test!

SOSFakeFlash usually puts the images of fake flash devices the continuation of an article, so has to save on people’s bandwidth. On occasion when we need to make a point we present the items before the continuation. Here are the items zhongel is offering. Comments anyone?
