Toward A Fake Flash Drive Free World – No More Counterfeits – No More Data Loss

Kingston Technologies Under Attack From Fake Flash Memory Seller Piranhas In The Orient. DT200 Counterfeits 8GB 16GB 32GB Flood Global Market.

Posted by techchips on March 10, 2010

Kingston Technologies, an innovator in flash memory technology is under attack. The first company to release a 256GB usb flash drive, counterfeiters are hot on their heels to cash in on their respected brand name.

The internet is where most of the fraud occurs. Unfortunately many sellers think they can buy Kingston products at unbelievable prices from wholesaling sites in the Orient. They import the items and sell them on local internet sites and eBay – unleashing an data loss plague on unsuspecting consumers.

Recently a person researched the internet for DT200 usb flash drives and found the FrankenFlash Project sites. He read and researched our sites and then notified us, with detailed comments.

His story is documented in several comments, read this one!

He used caps, in internet etiquette this is known as Shouting. Okay, he got our attention and tied up most of the team. It was important.

Why was it important? Because we are seeing so many counterfeit Kingston DT200 usb flash drives invading eBay! It is impossible to keep up with the fraudulent sellers. They are ripping off thousands of buyers while eBay remains idle and does not use it’s brains to put together a fake flash memory spotting team. It is not difficult, most of the team members do not have degrees in IT.

Sellers are using “BUY NOW” listings, they can dump more than 2000 fake DT200 Kingston usb flash drives in just a few days. Most run and deregister from eBay, others are suspended when FrankenFlash project sites issue public alerts on the internet, not fair to eBay members looking for the truth!

The reader “John Smith” provided an amazing contribution. He also revealed just how wide spread the problem is for Kingston DataTraveler fakes are. You can find them on every continent, now.

Do not buy Kingston Flash memory technology on the internet! Unless it is from an authorized supplier. When in doubt contact the nearest Kingston website in your area. If you are not careful, you will end up with a counterfeit, a fake capacity item that will destroy your files and data.

    Update on Kingston Technologies and DT200.

    1) DT200 model is very popular at chinese internet wholesaling sites. Frequently offered as ‘upgraded’, most people do not know what that means. It is a polite word for digitally altered to report a false size to operating systems.

    A lot of eBay sellers outside of china, buy them and list on eBay. They end up reported here and lose their reputation forever as we have a zero tolerance policy.

    Sellers registered in Asia for eBay continue to list these fakes. They use buy now and sell in high volume. eBay suspends them and leaves buyers in the dark. They will only refund buyers who DEMAND refunds. The rest are frauded.

    2) DT310 is also extremely popular as a fake. People continue to be frauded around the world.

    3) Kingston Technologies is the brand name suffering most from fraud and counterfeiting for their DataTraveler usb flash drives. It has to do with their market share and the fact the Kingston Brand name is trusted.

    Kingston is doing their best to help read:

    Kingston USB Flash Drives. How To Check You Have A Genuine One And Not A Counterfeit – Easy Guide. Kingston Technologies Fighting To Protect Consumers And Itself From Counterfeits.

    and assist them.

    4) Most people suffering fraud for Kingston DataTraveler usb flash drives pay less then $100 US. In many cases they pay less than $25 US. The prices are extremely unrealistic. You can not get 256 GB or 128 GB for less then $100 US. Period.

    An honest internet site you should consult for usb flash drive prices is newegg.com Use that site to determine price margins.

    5) The FrankenFlash Project reports that eBay is escalating in removing sellers quickly. They are not interested in honesty or transparency. They are determined to hide the issue and avoid a class action suit for flash memory fraud.

    Anyone who assumes eBay has their best interests at hart is naive. If you check the alert categories and what SOSFakeFlash has published since 2008 will understand.

    6) If you are a victim of fraud for flash memory:

    a) fight for your refund
    b) report in using the report a fake tab
    c) warn your fellow ebay members who left positive feedback
    d) Use your personal web space to document your fake and include a link to sosfakeflash to boost your internet presence. Write in your native language please…… We need more languages to get the message out.
