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!
