Did You Buy A USB Flash Pen Stick, Memory Card Or MP Player From These eBay Sellers 2008 Through 2009 Summer?

SOSFakeFlash concludes the tribute to eBay victims of the past who did not have an alert published on their fake flash sellers.

We honour the efforts of eBay victims in 2008. Their efforts and sacrifices for all you and the FrankenFlash Project.

There appear to be a number of eBay sellers who may escaped our nets. Since eBay suspended quite a few fake flash sellers prematurely, Fake Flash Angels were unable to contact and rescue victims. Are you one of them?

The sellers on the list below were not investigated. SOSFakeFlash has no way of proving or disproving they were involved in fake flash selling. A few have changed their eBay id names. Please review this list. Do you see a seller you recognize? That you bought from? An item of false capacity? Listing information does disappear on eBay but you will find a lot of it remains inside of PayPal. You can examine and hunt for information needed in Paypal if you find a seller name listed that you remember. Did the seller sell genuine capacity? Or was it a fake? Only you can help us determine the truth.

Please review the list. You can send in supporting information using the Report A Fake Tab to confirm false capacity or support the seller for NOT having sold false capacity.

We are interested in name changes for sellers and also addresses. Some of the id’s below are current fake flash sellers. This is especially true for those based in the Orient. If a seller changed his name and you left or received feedback, you will see the new id name listed. You can verify this by reviewing the current id’s ID History. Help us to connect the dot’s.

rickysell819 Ebay Fake Flash Seller – Canada – Case Of Ricky The Tricky

rickysell819 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives. Registered in Canada, rickysell819 was the reincarnation of save_big4real. Same eBay region and later as victims discovered, same address. rickysell819 sold items he did under save_big4real (see previous article). Having a degree of ego, the leatherette usb flash drives were embrossed with his previous eBay seller id. Not bright.

He was spotted by fake flash angels. Buyers were contacted, the dots connected – the addressing information compared.

He earned the name “Ricky The Tricky“.

He manage to sell about 130 fake flash pen drives, before the Fake Flash Angels caught up with him. He was suspended by eBay. Consumer laws appear to be taken more seriously by eBay in Canada. The government over there has sharp teeth.

Victims did contact Ricky The Tricky. In fact some lived very close to him. In his second selling spree, he used a different name, same address with an apartment number. Odd, give the address was for a house.

“Ricky The Tricky” found himself in a lot of pain, similar to the pain he caused for others.

He had invested a great deal of money in those fake usb flash drives, refused to accept the financial loss or face the consequences of what he had done to others under save_big4real. Instead, he thought it was perfectly fine to continue to harm others under the id of rickysell819. He felt he deserved to get all of his money back. It did not matter what would happen to others.

He felt he was a victim and he came first.

rickysell819 – Ricky The Tricky reeled in shock. The id was suspended. He never dreamed people were watching him and patrolling. He thought he would get away with it. Ricky The Tricky, learned otherwise. He was painfully aware, many of his victims lived just a short drive away. He enjoyed the horror or pleasure of telephone calls and conversations from his victims.

The last news on Ricky The Tricky was that he was busy drowning himself in a puddle of beer.

SOSFakeFlash does not know what happened to him in the end. Some victims intended to report him to the RCMP, the national police in Canada.

The most interesting thing about the case of rickysell819 aka SaveBig4Real, is how eBay victims can organize and catch fake flash sellers. It reveals a dark side in people. How sellers who discover they were victims (purchased false capacity items), feel justified in continuing to sell to reclaim their costs. Victims have a very dim view of people who do this.

Hopefully in the the hereafter, they bake on very same fake flash nand chips from the devices they sold – down below.

It can be traumatic and a terrible discovery for an eBay seller to learn their items were not genuine capaicty, but they should not continue to sell these dangerous items to reclaim their costs. Instead they should focus their attention on the source of their volume purchase with the full force of law. Many victims sellers do. Many have received their money back. If the source is in their home country, there is a good chance at recovery of funds. It purchased abroad, it becomes a sad lesson instead.

ajs_socks Ebay Fake Flash Seller – United Kingdom – Counterfeits A Speciality

ajs_socks is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives . Registered in the United Kingdom, ajs_socks is very slippery and skilled at fraud.

In his listings he showed a generic 64GB flash drive, but sent counterfeit Kingston DT150 64GB flash drives instead. Clever. His listing descriptions were:

Brand New USB 2.0 64 GB Key Pen Flash Memory Drive
New 500GB Key Flash Memory Drive USB 2.0 Pen 10%Charity
New 64GB Key Flash Memory Drive USB 2.0 Pen 10% Charity

for:

ajs_socks doesn’t have an issue selling counterfeit items, in fact seems very comfortable in doing so. ajs_socks is a seller in the UK that has learned the secrets of fake flash sellers in the Orient.

http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=ajs_socks&Dirn=Received+by

For the 64GB listing SOSFakeFlash was confused a Kingston DT150 was being reported for the seller.

A Victim Of ajs_socks said:

I bought from that exact page and if you notice he uses the same picture throughout all his flash drive sales.

Obviously, if someone was to be selling real 64GB Kingston they would be shouting from the rooftops and display as many pictures as possible.

He does not list any specific brands, but anything just so he can ship whatever he feels like, as long as it is “64GB”.
