vail1999 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake hacked – false capacity memory) Flash USB drives. Registered in the United States, vail1999 closed his account on eBay. It is not unusual for an American eBay seller to run from eBay when buyers catch him/her selling fake flash memory. The problem for you? Getting a refund. Trying to recover the files you lost. If you deleted them from your hard drive after copying to a digitally altered usb flash drive, you will not be able to repair or recover the files once you exceeded the real capacity of the flash storage chip. The files were never transferred in the first place. That is the shocking truth about fake flash memory.
