October 2009 – SOSFakeFlash Battle Plan

Posted by KittyFireFlash on October 5, 2009

Welcome to SOSFakeFlash’s new “Public” notice board for strategy to continue purging eBay of fake flash sellers. You will always find it under Category: Battle Plan – Strategy. Also see: Using The SOSFakeFlash Battle Plan Bulletin Boards – How They Work – Rules

The most serious issues facing us:

  • An escalation in 32GB and 64GB false capacity flash memory pen usb drives
  • Getting the message out to international websites and forums, especially in languages other than English.
  • Ensuring that SOSFakeFlash is left in feedback so that victims can find help when they search on the internet.
  • Private auction listings
  • Email assistance requests for help with PayPal refunds
  • Email assistance requests for help repairing fake mp players, memory cards, usb flash pensticks.
  • Getting victims to contact other buyers for a fake flash seller!
  • eBay sellers changing their id names or using a new id the moment they get suspended.
  • eBay victims who change their feedback to get a refund and create MORE victims because they only thought of themselves and not others!

We are not kidding about the escalation for 32GB and 64GB fake capacity! Sellers are using multiple item listings and frequently private auctions as well. We need people to contact any buyers for these capacities and if they fail testing to report in immediately using the Report A Fake Tab. Early detection is key! Also patrol and leave suspect id’s as comments on this post. You can ask others to assist in contacting buyers for a seller on this article by leaving a comment. It helps people to focus their energy wisely.

eBay members are needed to contact others. We are seeing some evidence of improvement – reports from people who say “I received a message to test”. It helps detect new sellers, to investigate and enter the details into the database. Our fake flash eBay sellers lists are based on reports and also the alerts we issue. SOSFakeFlash has a zero tolerance policy, it takes only one confirmation for a seller to be entered. eBay makes it very difficult for people to warn others, one person has a quota of 5 messages a day, because of this, many people are needed! Read:

If you receive confirmations from a buyer, get them to join you in contacting others for the same seller! Tip. Stick to the same seller for at least one week, or make sure you put the sellers eBay id in your message so you don’t get confused. Sending messages can take less then 15 minutes a day, once you get the hang of it. It can also be fun to reach out to other members and very satisfying when you prevented someone from losing information.

SOSFakeFlash has pulled the rug from under many eBay powersellers, when victims join together! eBay and PayPal are forced to take notice when members unite.

October 2009 – Ebay Fake Flash Seller Hot List

Posted by KittyFireFlash on October 5, 2009

These eBay sellers need the attention of all Fake Flash angels and commando’s:

  1. showwhat
  2. kinhome88
  3. safe2star
  4. upcomingtrend Mission Accomplished

showwhat

showwhat was chased by eBay members and took a fake flash selling break. He is back with a vengeance. What is he selling that is new? 32GB fake usb flash drives! People will lose both data and money unless he is forced to take another “break”! Can you help warn buyers? Read:

safe2star

safe2star has been around for a long time. This is another powerseller who uses a lot of private auctions. What will it take to have safe2star suspended? Read:

kinhome88

kinhome88 is managing to sneak through the cracks. Formerly this seller only sold MP Player fakes but has now graduated to selling fake usb flash drives. Can he be stopped? Yes, if people contact buyers and make eBay and PayPal’s life a misery. Read:

upcomingtrend

This is the worst offender on ebay at the moment. upcomingtrend is using private auctions and is a powerseller with a very high score. Check his feedback and if you see “Private” for an eBay item number, it is hiding a fake! Please contact anyone who left positive feedback. Report listings to eBay. How people chose to address this seller is up to them and according to their conscience.

upcomingtrend has been STOPPED! Thank you everyone for all the effort put in.

Read:

If you can spare 15 minutes a day, please help! Warn buyers for these sellers! Read:

FraudedBuyersThese sellers are on theHot List, Will you help make them history? If you are a victim of fraud on eBay, make a difference, fight back, warn others and contribute by saying NO! Help your fellow eBay members, save them from data loss. Help them to march to PayPal and claim refunds. Money is hard to earn these days, fraud should not be part of the “eBay experience”, neither should members suffer the loss of their valuable data.

Yogi’s Fake 32GB MP Player From kinhome88 eBay Fake Flash Memory Seller – Charger Blows Up

Posted by KittyFireFlash on October 3, 2009

Buying a false capacity MP3 MP4 Player on eBay happens all the time. SOSFakeFlash is also receiving reports that these items often have a dangerous wall charger too – they “blow up” and can lead to electrical fires!

On June 25, 2009 SOSFakeFlash Published: kinhome88 Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – China

You should read the email from the kinhome88 in that alert! It may explain why he has been able to continue frauding through the summer of 2009 and continues unchallenged in the Fall of 2009. kinhome88 now also offers those fake usb memory flash pen drives SOSFakeFlash has seen a few too many times.

eBay buyer victim “Yogi” bought this 32GB Touch Screen MP3 MP4 Player from kinhome88:

3903

Yogi provided the following listing description from kinhome88:

PACKAGE INCLUDED
———————————

32GB Touch Screen MP3 MP4 Player
USB Data & Power Supply Cable
High Quality Earphone
USB Wall Charger (Free Gift!!!)

Yogi said:

Received a Wall Charger which BLEW up !See picture

kinhome88 ChargerBlewUp

Yogi Observed:

High Quality Earphone….it’s subjective….

The 32GB player with 2,8 inch screen….After putting more than 2 GB on the memory the problems start to arise. corupt files etc.
Because of the site.. I decided to open the MP4 player. It has a Samsung memory chip :

SAMSUNG Flash
K4S281632C-TC1L

The Hardware chip is:
ANYKA AK3631LQ14402
FS01F9

SOSFakeFlash had a lot of difficultly trying to find this the memory chip at Samsung: K4S281632C-TC1L when found, the serial was for SDRAM and was an EOL product (end of life). Very confusing. The investigators have no idea what to make of this. An SDRAM flash memory chip being used in an MP Player? Or was it a counterfeit nand memory chip, using a legal serial number from Samsung? Or was this chip “converted” to be used in low quality MP Players because it was an EOL memory chip? At the moment no one really knows.

Yogi on testing the capacity:

Output of H2Test 1.4.. after completing the writing of the 32 GB and the verify starts it complained about errors and it/… crashed.
Because the writing of 32 Gb takes so very long I didn’t do the test again.

Yogi has filed a claim with paypal as do many eBay victims.

Yogi’s false capacity MP Player, reveals two additional facts buyers need to be aware of:

1) Wrong storage memory chips being used, possibility of counterfeit knock offs or recycled chips that should not be used in MP Players.

2) Wall chargers that are an electrical hazard. Yogi’s MP Player was damaged as a result. Wall chargers that are sub standard and not properly certified could damage your electrical outlet, MP Player and possibly start a fire in your home.

In hunting for unrealistic bargains on eBay you could end up with much more than a false capacity memory item.

Meanwhile kinhome88 continues to fraud and SOSFakeFlash sees little evidence of buyers attempting to contact and warn others who bought from this seller. As a result, kinhome88 will to earn and to sell fake memory items to unsuspecting eBay members.

If you feel this is wrong, lend a helping hand, warn buyers of kinhome88.

innovico_surplus Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – Jersey

Posted by KittyFireFlash on October 1, 2009

innovico_surplus is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity) Flash USB drives. Registered in Jersey innovico_surplus was a formerly trusted eBay seller. Recently innovico_surplus has sold many false capacity usb flash drives. There is no indication that this seller has attempted a recall of his merchanidise, warned all buyers to test for the true capacity and refunded as required.

Test results for the 16GB usb flash drive show a 4GB flash memory chip, one of poor quality with many bad sectors for a formatted size of 3.7GB instead of the usual 3.9. Therefore, not only has innovico_surplus sold false capacity but merchandise containing sub standard quality memory chips. In the past, some buyers did say usb pen sticks sold by innovico_surplus tend to have a lower than average final formatted capacity.

Sub standard memory chips are likely to have a lower life expectancy, not good for anyone who intended to archive data.

The 8GB usb pensticks appear to be implicated as well. innovico_surplus has not been careful and vigelent in performing periodic inspections of wholesale merchandise purchased.

SOSFakeFlash revoked innovico_surplus eBay safe seller status in August 2009, removed his nomination article and changed his status on the eBay safe seller list.
