arp_nsk Ebay Fake Flash Memory Seller Alert Devious – United States MP Players

arp_nsk is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake hacked – false capacity memory) MP Players using multiple item listings, mostly in 16GB advertised capacity.

Registered in the United States, arp_nsk earns the classification of a devious eBay seller, not for using private auction listings but reselling from known eBay fake flash memory sellers documented at this site over a year ago. arp_nsk knows the items were fake and waited for an opportunity to past his loss onto other unsuspecting eBay members. You will find the evidence of the fake flash memory sellers he purchased from clearly documented in his feedback as a buyer. Pay specific attention to sellers with “private” for eBay listing item and deregistered. You are welcome to research the seller ids and their history at this site.

SOSFakeFlash would like to remind eBay members, almost all fake mp players sold on eBay have only a 2GB capacity, some have 4GB. 8GB real capacity is very rare for a digitally altered MP Player. Your best proof is not only testing with H2testw, but in careful disassembly of an mp player H2testw reports having a lower size then advertised. Read: Fake MP Players – Steps In Checking Flash Memory Size for a good example.

arp_nsk is not refunding buyers. Ensure you test the capacity of any mp player purchased from this seller! Report in with your testing results. Keep your testing results handy. You may wish to open the device to decode the usb flash controller chip and also the flash memory storage chip and it’s actual size. The serial for flash memory chips can often be traced to a manufacturer for the real size. Note Gb is gigabits not bytes, therefore you should divide by 8 to calculate the GB of the storage flash memory chip.

SOSFakeFlash advises, given both seller behavior and eBay for this case, if you funded the purchase with a credit card, you contact the credit card company to report the fraud and reclaim your money under fraud protection. Ensure that you have evidence on hand to present to the credit card of the false capacity mp player to support your claim against arp_nsk.

SOSFakeFlash would like to remind all eBay members, fund your purchases with a credit card and not your bank account on eBay. Credit card companies take the protection of their customers seriously and activity fight fraud. eBay does not. You will find sufficient evidence at this site to discover why.

Note, most credit card companies allow the refund of one fraudulent activity per year, not more. This is fair. While credit card companies do their best for customers, customers must then learn from the experience and become wiser consumers and more careful in their internet shopping.

A retailer who engages in fraud will also be flagged by the credit card company. By reporting to your card, you help them in the fight against criminal activity.
