silviajune sells false capacity 16GB usb flash drives on eBay. Did you buy from this seller registered in China?
Your usb flash drive will not have a true capacity of more than 2GB according to results already send in by victims. You risk not only losing money but also your data!
If you bought any of these items listed on ebay:
16GB USB 2.0 Flash Memory 16G Pen Stick Thumb Drive W
16GB USB 2.0 Flash Memory 16G Pen Stick Thumb Drive I
16GB USB 2.0 Flash Memory 16G Pen Stick Thumb Drive H
16GB USB 2.0 Flash Memory 16G Pen Stick Thumb Drive K
16GB USB 2.0 Flash Memory 16G Pen Stick Thumb Drive A
16GB USB 2.0 Flash Memory 16G Pen Stick Thumb Drive S
You should immediately test to determine the true capacity using: H2testw 1.4 – Gold Standard In Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives . Do not store any files unless testing confirms you received the advertised capacity of 16GB. Failure to test the full advertised size prior to storing data could mean permanent file loss if you do not have a back up copy stored elsewhere.
Report in to SOSFakeFlash IMMEDIATELY if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.
Victims of silviajune are reporting silviajune will refund you quickly if you file a dispute, to silence you – SHUT YOU UP! Fake flash sellers need to ensure victims do not report them to eBay and also do not leave any evidence trail in feedback. If this happens, their fake flash selling days are numbered.
SOSFakeFlash asks you to warn other eBay members who purchased from this seller. It is urgent. You can only warn up to 5 people who left positive feedback a day, no more than that. Chose any feedback page at random, but only those who have left feedback in the last 20 days so victims still have time to test and to file a paypal claim. Ask anyone who confirms they have a fake to report in to SOSFakeFlash and to join you in the effort to rescue others.

You don’t know how many people have been frauded, we do. It is one of the worse cases yet.
You have the right to share your buying experience with fellow eBay members, simply state what you discovered and ask if they tested and what their actual capacity turns out to be. Avoid calling the seller names in your messages even if deserved – it can cause the eBay member to suspect you instead of the seller.

Unfortunately silviajune continues to dump 16GB false capacity flash drives, over 360 listings active as this article was released. The average bid price is less then $20 US, often as low as $10 US. SOSFakeFlash regrets to inform potential buyers and those who have purchased so far, that unless silviajune is running a charity it is impossible to offer a usb 16GB flash drive at those prices. It is simple, what genuine flash drive chips cost.
Victim consumer education on nand flash storage chips:
The cost of an 8GB chip is over $13.00 US and you need two of them to reach 16GB capacity. A 2GB flash drive chip costs a little more than $4.00 US. What does this tell you?
The choice is yours. Will you let silviajune continue to fraud? Will the number of victims continue to increase? SOSFakeFlash first warned about silviajune at the beginning of July 2009. The only way to help others is to make sure you leave negative feedback with the calling cards of “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” to warn others who have not left any feedback. If you left positive feedback, do a follow up to your feedback stating the truth.
