mixmasala19 Ebay Fake Flash Memory Seller Alert Devious – United States. Used Ploy Of Contributions To An Animal Charity To Con Buyers In USA.

mixmasala19 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity memory) Flash USB drives.

Registered in the United States, mixmasala19 claims “defective”. Exactly what is the defect, SOSFakeFlash asks? Is it a defect in a 2GB flash memory chip, when it is unable to store 32GB worth of information?

American eBay fake flash memory sellers are notorious for conning their buyers by claiming the item is defective. Unfortunately too many eBay members in the United States actually fall for this. There is an urgent need to educate buyers in the USA concerning the problem of fake flash memory chips. How these chips can be digitally altered to “lie” about their true capacity! If you have a website or access to one, please educate and warn Americans!!!!

mixmasala19 cleverly hid his fake flash memory selling by using private auctions. A seller of the genuine article would not try to hide these items from buyers, but would proudly allow any prospective buyer to examine the items bought by previous buyers.

Some team members feel protective about animals, caring deeply – as animals can not speak for themselves. KittyFireFlash is still tracking the poisoner of squirrels. The trees on his property almost silent, so many were killed. mixmasala19 stated 10% of the selling price would go to an animal charity. Normally we would capture this information and display it for everyone as part of the fraud. However, this would harm the charity involved seeking to do good for the uncared for, mistreated and unwanted animals in our world. mixmasala19 actually deserves a double devious classification for this. Did the charity receive any proceeds from fake flash memory sales? We doubt it.

mixmasala19 also sold lots of 5 units.
