SOSFakeFlash Quick Note 20090920

Posted by flashchiptutor on September 20, 2009

The FrankenFlash Project has finished the prototype testing for a new site. It will be switchboard in orientation. It will have pull down menus and uses some of the latest features in blogs. Clean and easy on the eyes too. It is not intended to replace existing sites but to compliment and coordinate them. It will have a radically different look! Work on the sites construction has begun – it represents a major effort for the project. Team members will have to divide their time between fake flash fighting and site construction. More independent efforts will be needed by readers at SOSFakeFlash and victims. Help Out!

eBay buyer stories are one of the most interesting features. We are also looking for eBay Victim seller stories to present. The project stresses confidentiality. We protect the identities of people who report in to us. Unless a person insists on using their real name, we ask that people chose pen names.

toomanyles572 Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert Devious- China

Posted by KittyFireFlash on September 15, 2009

toomanyles572 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives. Registered in China, toomanyles572 has Private Auctions in the past. Currently multiple item listing are being used. toomanyles572 offers a frightening collection of fakes.

On September 6, 2009 Fake Flash News published: toomanyles572 – Did You Buy From This eBay Seller? Emergency Consumer Warning.

Needed: eBay members to contact any buyer who left positive feedback for toomanyles572! See information on how to contact below! Given the prices offered it is extremely likely victims have bought multiple items from this seller.

A victim reported:

I received a FULL AND IMMEDIATE REFUND WHEN REQUESTED from the seller, I have no way of knowing if the seller was aware that the goods were fake, they could have been duped too, they said their supplier had sent the wrong items.
It has been a learning experience if nothing else 🙂

The test results for toomanyles572 16GB USB 2.0 Thumb Drive Flash Memoy Pen Stick E, clearly reveal toomanyles572 supplier could not have sent the “wrong items”. It is not possible for a supplier to offer a 16GB flash drive penstick at a price allowing toomanyles572 to sell them at $15 US to eBay members.

toomanyles572-wrong item

toomanyles572 is registered on eBay as a business seller. Business sellers should know the true costs for genuine flash chips.

Opening the pen drive the victim found:

16Gb drive was actually 2Gb.
Chip inside was SAMSUNG K9GAG08U0D

The chip was confirmed at Samsung. 16G – bit. That works out to 16/8 = 2GB as 8 bits equal one byte. If you bought any item from toomanyles572 please test it immediately!

SOSFakeFlash Quick Note 20090914

Posted by techchips on September 15, 2009

Update 20090917

Ouch! Read: Flash Memory Prices Are Rising In 2009 – Up To 25% Since April 2009. Danger Of Grade C and D Being Used In False Capacity MP Players, USB Flash Drives And Memory Cards. It fit’s in very nicely with SOSFakeFlash’s data on the prices eBay victimes paided. The question SOSFakeFlash has, how can we raise the awareness of the cost of flash chips to eBay members? Some how the message needs to get inside of eBay. If it does not, expect an endless parade of alerts. eBay, fake flash sellers and paypal will continue to make money – at Your expense.

  • It’s fine to report a seller in a comment but no formal alert will be issued against a seller without using Report A Fake. Alerts are highly visible to search engines. You report, we investigate then issue an alert. After you report, please warn other buyers so no time is lost.
  • eBay fake flash sellers trying to hide from Kingston Technologies on eBay see: Buy A Kingston DT150 64GB Or 32GB DataTraveler At Best Internet Price!
  • Your stories are great! In a comment they can get buried over time. If you are in our database, we can turn it into a post article and have it in the stories category at our site. You get to chose your penname, “nom de plume”. If you like, you can suggest a title too. Have mercy on our typing fingers, send in to sosfakeflashdrive@gmail.com . We have fake flash sellers to catch, help us reduce time and effort.

golden20090517 Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert Devious – China

Posted by KittyFireFlash on September 14, 2009

golden20090517 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) 32GB memory cards. Registered in China, over 500+ have been sold so far. golden20090517 belongs to the cao you counterfeit Ring Operating on eBay. golden20090517 is using private auctions to sell.

eBay Scam Seller golden20090517 Identified As A Member Of Counterfeit Ring Zhonghuanyun (cao you)

A victim observed:

The seller tries actively to get you return the item back to Hong Kong. When I told him there’s no way i’ll do this, he starts begging you by telling the profit is non existent and that he needs to send the card back to his supplier to have it tested. He also offers a partial refund in order for me to keep the card. After that, I decided to escalate the claim to paypal and end all conversation with the seller.

golden20090517 will beg and plead. golden20090517 knows how to talk the western way – he makes little profit and must sent the memory card back for inspection. Believable, except for one thing. golden20090517 has had previous id’s used to fraud: sellasera68258, sfrankish5872, yazmin_yenthe_bay. eBay members fought back and those id’s were suspended and are currently serving their sentence in eBay fake flash prison.

Partial refund is an another tactic fake flash sellers use. Never accept it.

skywarenet Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert Devious – China

Posted by KittyFireFlash on September 14, 2009

skywarenet is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) MP Players and Flash USB drives. Registered in China, skywarenet used private auctions. skywarenet has rushed to close his eBay account in an attempt to run with his fake flash profits. skywarenet also sold memory cards. It is urgent you test anything you bought from this seller and file a claim with Paypal immediately!

A Victim reports:

Sheeesh….where to start!.

Yes, I fell into the ebay pit of flash fraud to! To start, I purhased NEW 32GB 3.0″ LCD Touch Screen MP3 MP4 32G RMVB PLAYER for $49.99. I thought I was getting a great deal. You can imagine the excitment I felt about getting 32gb player for 50 bucks!…WRONG! While I was waiting for my player to arrive, I started doing some research on it and it led me to this site along with a few others that enlightened me about flash fraud. My heart just sank. I knew then I had been scammed!! I immediately emailed skywarenet to let them know of my suspicion of fraud. Within two days they closed their account on Ebay. I have a claim now pending on PayPal. We’ll see how that goes. I should also mention that I found another site that mentions Postal Fraud as well.

These folks are filling out the shipping customs form (CN22) and stating these are ‘gifts” so no import tax is paid on them. Also, there is no signature on them. I’m looking into this further with customs and the international trade commission to get more info. I found out that it was illegal to falsify this customs form and since it was shipped illegally, I did not want to return the merchandise.

I have to say, these guys are good at what they do, they know how to scam. They also make up accounts on ebay to give themselves FAKE good feedback as well. This is a huge scam and i’m sure they are making tons of money. I’m sure most people do not even know how to contest it and or to embarrassed to come forward to let folks know they also fell into the ebay pit of flash fraud. DO NOT BE AFRAID PEOPLE!! Speak up!! These people need to be taken off ebay!

Stephen And eBay Fake Memory Seller Hjstore – A Short Conversation

Posted by KittyFireFlash on September 12, 2009

eBay sellers who sell false capacity usb flash drives, try to play innocent. Will you fall for their stories? A victim of Hjstore did not.

Stephen’s eBay Buying Experience:

This has really turned me off from eBay. I use to purchase a lot of electronic odds and ends from there and now I just want to stay away.

I found out about this site a few days ago after looking for some flash memory and seeing an auction claiming fake flash chips, so I tested an 32GB SD card I got around April that I had not used yet. It was fake and died in the verifying process… Yesterday when I got a thumb drive I purchased a few months back I tested it. FAKE…

I sent an email to the seller and filed a cliam through Paypal. Here are the transcripts.

Stephen To Hjstore

I purchased a “16 GB USB Thumb Drive” as described in the auction.

I received the drive today, when i tried to load the drive with data and retrieve it, the data was shown to be corrupt.

I ran a test using “H2testw 1.4” which fills the drive with data and checks to see that is actually exists on the drive. The test has shown that the drive is significantly less in capacity than described. (Results are available).

I have read and experienced (in a previous SD Card purchase) that there is a large amount of fake or “hacked” flash chips on the market. I strongly feel that this is one of those items.

Here are the results from the test. Observe that the “DATA LOST” is 13.6 GB and that the “OK” data is 1.9 GB.

The media is likely to be defective.
1.9 GByte OK (4109958 sectors)
13.6 GByte DATA LOST (28623226 sectors)

Details:12.9 GByte overwritten (27262758 sectors)
26.5 KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 53 sectors)
664.2 MByte corrupted (1360415 sectors)
64 KByte aliased memory (128 sectors)
First error at offset: 0x0000000000000000
Expected: 0x0000000000000000
Found: 0x00000003e6e50000
Writing speed: 2.61 MByte/s
Reading speed: 4.80 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4

Thank you very much.

HJStore To Stephen

Dear friend,

I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

But we perform very strict QC procedure and we are sure the item works fine.

I don’t know why the problem happens.

Shall I send a 70% refund and you keep this item?

Or could you please return it for a full refund?

Please accept my sincere apologies.

Best Regards

HJ^

Stephen To HJStore

I would like a full refund as the drive is not what was advertised.

Paypal to Stephen

A Refund was issued.

Stephen, performed the testing we ask of buyers. He then reported in using the Report A Fake Tab .

He had the addressing information for HJStore. Little did Stephen know just how important this information would be! The addresses were checked in SOSFakeFlash’s database. We were able to confirm another eBay id belonging to two counterfeit rings operating on eBay.

Is not unusual for a fake flash seller to say this to a buyer. The strict “QC” HJStore is talking about, is testing to see that the fake will show up as 16GB to an operating system. Flash drive chips are digitally altered to lie about their real size to operating systems.

Do not fall for any tall tales HJStore might tell.

Stephen learned about SOSFakeFlash because someone on eBay tipped him off with a listing. eBay listings about fake pen drives, mp players and memory cards are important. The message must be where the fakes are being sold. It warns people. It teaches them to be careful – to become smart consumers. Most people do not know memory chips can be altered. They do not expect to find this on eBay.

The listing on eBay interested Stephen to test a memory card he bought on eBay but never got around to using. It died during the testing. When his pen stick arrived, he was already prepared to test it for true capacity. It failed. Stephen went to battle with HJStore and won. His report to SOSFakeFlash helped add another eBay id to two very sinister counterfeit rings that operate together on eBay. Read: Urgent – Hjstore eBay Seller.
