gguesswhat Ebay Fake Flash Seller – United States
Posted by KittyFireFlash on September 5, 2009
gguesswhat is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives. Registered in the United States, gguesswhat sold many fake 16GB usb flash memory sticks in the spring and summer of 2008. Few American buyers caught on to the fact that gguesswhat was selling reprogrammed usb pensticks. They actually believed they were defective. Little did they know the flash memory chip had been digitally altered. This still remains a problem in the USA – eBay members there have a very hard time believing that an American eBay seller would sell fake usb flash drives. They do. Do not assume that bidding and buying from an American seller is “safer” then buying from an eBay seller in the Orient. SOSFakeFlash’s data shows that this is simply not true. You can as easily acquire false capacity items in your home eBay country as you can from the Orient – the only difference is that you are likely to pay more for your fake.
Fortunately eBay has a feedback system. This allows for the recording of a sellers deeds. It is important to leave negative feedback with details for a seller who sells fake flash. It is a permanent record that remains forever.
Positive feedback sources are not very useful when buying usb flash drives, mp players or memory cards on eBay. It is the negative and neutral feedback that counts in deciding whether to consider buying from a seller. Do not pay attention to slow delivery or even shipping and handling charges. Pay attention to information about advertised size verses real size. If the word fake appears, or data loss – watch out! Also examine any information regarding a promise to refund for an item and never given. Not enough people do a proper inspection or test of true capacity when they leave positive feedback, that is why you can’t trust it for items like this.

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
Do a good deed, warn other eBay buyers of fake flash. Help rescue them. Check positive feedback for a fake flash seller and send messages to warn. Just state facts, ask them to test. You can only send up to 5 messages a day. Save another person from a fake flash nightmare.

eBay really should take note of websites like this and figure out how to incorporate the valuable messages on this board into their business. It’s a shame that this continues to happen . . .
