garysin2008 Urgent! Ebay Fake Flash Memory Seller High Alert Devious – China. Victim Documents Real Capacity By Opening The USB Flash Drive.

Posted by KittyFireFlash on December 23, 2009

Garysin2008 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity memory) Flash USB drives. Registered in China, garysin2008 has sold more than 1000+ fake 32GB usb flash drives in only 11 days using private auctions. Currently garysin2008 is not listing any flash memory items as buyers are beginning to discover the awful truth.

A recent victim to be known as “Gadget_Guru” not only tested his fake from garysin2008 to find he had received a 4GB flash drive (actual capacity), but documented for everyone to see at:

You will find his photos helpful. He took the flash drive apart to see what the flash drive storage chip was and also the usb controller chip used. Once again we see, MW6208E, one of the most common usb controller chips used to create false capacity usb flash drives sold on eBay. Do you know why? The chip has flaws and allows itself to be reprogrammed to report non existent capacities. It a favorite of eBay fake flash memory sellers.

Please examine the photos. If you are having difficulties trying to repair a fake capacity usb flash drive, it is important that you open it to verify the actual storage chip and usb controller involved. Some times you might not find a tool to repair. Be patient and continue to search over time. Some victims have to wait from 3 to 6 months for a tool to be released on the internet that will recognize the flash storage chip.

Times are changing, more 32GB and 64GB fake usb flash drives are appearing on eBay. 16GB fakes are still active but are less attractive to fake flash sellers as the prices they can get are lower. Remember, for flawed usb controllers, it is possible for a devious seller to programme to any false size desired. The false size is usually the one people are most interested in purchasing.

Buyers of 32GB and 64GB advertised capacity, please read these three articles immediately!
