Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 29, 2009

qinghui156 sold fake capacity usb flash drives on eBay. After frauding more than 2500+ members qinghui156 received a one month suspension in February 2009. This seller earned over $50,000 US. Is only a one month suspension fair? eBay did not warn buyers of qinghui156

On January 3, 2009 SOSFakeFlash issued: qinghui156 Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert China

qinghui156 sold:

930 934 932

931

qinghui156 got away with murder, releasing a lot of data poison and has not been held accountable. Little changes, eBay members still continue to bid and buy these usb flash drives from other eBay sellers in the orient. At the moment, qinghui156 is not listing them, but might the moment his feedback score is healthy enough.

Did You Leave Positive Feedback For A Fake Flash Seller Of MP Players, Memory Cards Or USB Flash Drives Purchased On eBay?

Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 14, 2009

LearningDid You Leave Positive Feedback For A Fake Flash Seller Of MP Players, Memory Cards Or USB Flash Drives Purchased On eBay? You are not alone!

Most people only give a quick inspection of their item, they don’t test the full advertised capacity. Afterall, who expected to receive a false capacity item in the first place? Never test by looking at what the operating system tells you about the size, that is the classic trap!

Fake items advertised at 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 120GB, 128GB, 240GB, 360GB, 500GB, 512GB have been digitally altered to lie about their real capacity. Test with H2testw.

You can add to your positive feedback, by doing “Follow Up FeedBack”! Let everyone know the truth!

By putting keywords such as “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” along with the real size and the word FAKE, you can warn others. Fake Flash Sellers hate it! Victims love it!

Don’t forget, if you are still in your claim window race off to PayPal and file a dispute against the seller to get your money back.

SOSFakeFlash Quick Note 20090809

Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 9, 2009

Beware! Be on the look out for eBay sellers who sell very cheap items such as a stylus,ear phones, cheap jewellery, ties and especially “sexy underwear ” to build feedback scores. Fake flash sellers of mp players, memory cards and usb flash drives use these items to prepare their id’s to build positive feedback or as a wall against eBay victims who leave negatives. These items are the calling cards, fake flash eBay fraudsters use! If you are a victim, please see if the seller continues to list the item you bought and report every single one to eBay at the bottom of the listing. There is nothing “sexy” about fraud and data loss due to False capacity items!

August 2009 – SOSFakeFlash Battle Plan

Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 3, 2009

Welcome to SOSFakeFlash’s new “Public” notice board for strategy to continue purging eBay of fake flash sellers. This is a new board. You will always find it under Category: Battle Plan – Strategy. Also see: Using The SOSFakeFlash Battle Plan Bulletin Boards – How They Work – Rules

The objective is to channel the energy of independent fake flash angels and commando’s to zero in on the important issues and tasks.

  1. Baby Fake Flash Seller Id’s
  2. Powerseller Fake Flash Seller Id’s Zapping

Baby fake flash seller id’s are being suspended quickly by eBay. This is good news. It prevents fraudulent sellers from building scores that can withstand negative feedback from buyers.

We are introducing a new notice board – Ebay Fake Flash Seller Hot List. You will always find it under Category: Battle Plan — Fake Flash Hot List. This board is for very dangerous sellers, especially powersellers. The objective is for victims to focus on these sellers and bring down their feedback scores – to the level where eBay can suspend them. This forces the fraudsters to switch to another id.

Is this a good thing? Yes. It means that victims can now focus on reducing another of their powerseller id’s to ashes. If you have any spare time you can contact buyers on for sellers on this list to warn them to test! If they have a fake and left positive feedback have them march to PayPal with a claim, send complaints to eBay. If the seller is still listing those confirmed fake flash items, have victims report every single listing, one by one to eBay. When different people do this, sleeping eBay awakes.

EbayPrisonMeanwhile, if you patrol and keep the fake flash counterfeit rings in the Orient from planting new baby id’s their precious high score id’s will be suspended; their opportunity to groom and grow replacement id’s starved.

This month’s objective – send as many powersellers to eBay fake flash seller prison (suspension) and prevent the grooming of baby id’s to take their place.

You may use this Battle Plan for the month of August to report suspected Baby Id’s and your independent progress. There will be a new battle plan issued every month and the old one closed. Please do not use your real eBayer id’s to comment. Chose a name for yourself – your identity at SOSFakeFlash.

eBay Fraud – A Powerseller eBay Can Not Stop From Harming Buyers Currently Known as intertrade-connection

Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 1, 2009

FakeFlashReprogrammerPowerseller ids with high feedback scores do not have to follow eBay rules. They are immune and do as they please. intertrade-connection has a feedback score of over 27,000. Very skilled at getting victims of fake usb flash drives, memory cards and mp players to change their feedback. How long have eBay members tried to STOP this seller from harming others? 13 months. The first documented fake was in June, 2008!

How is intertrade-connection getting away with massive fraud?

1) Private Auctions
2) Exceptionally High eBay Feedback score

and of course changing his id name to evade detection. intertrade-connection was previously known as i.c.distribution and before that, i.c.distribution and earlier as i.c_electronics. Three id changes in 13 months? Exactly what kind of seller would do this? An honest one? Not likely. Our database is designed to track this kind of evasion.

intertrade-connection is very much aware of the FrankenFlash Project and SOSFakeFlash. That is why he changed to private auctions, to bury the fraudulent activity even deeper.

You would think that eBay would DO SOMETHING! They can’t.

intertrade-connection knows this and will continue to sell items with false memory capacity, so harmful to data.

You would think that if ebay was so powerless to act against the sellers score, they would at least prevent the seller from using private auctions to level the playing field and allow eBay members to do their dirty work and bring the seller down with negative feedback. eBay won’t. They need intertrade-connection’s fee’s. eBay continues to lose members and it is no secret as to why.

Exactly what kind of a powerseller has over 270 negative feedback’s in 6 months?

http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=intertrade-connection&Dirn=Received+by

There are lot of games being played by intertrade-connection.

Private Auctions or not, eBay victims are starting to leave negative feedback and they are leaving clues about the items they purchased. intertrade-connection might try to change his id again, but the negative feedback has to remain, otherwise he must surrender his high score and that is one thing intertrade-connection is not prepared to do.

If eBay refuses to do anything about fraudulent activities especially against this long term offender, it is up to you. Each negative is a voice and a permanent testimony. Contact buyers who bought any eBay item that shows “private” – warn them. If you found out too late, you can still leave follow up feedback telling the truth.

13 months ago this seller got away with it, almost no negatives. People did not understand what was going on. That is changing. SOSFakeFlash is seeing buyers fighting back with their feedback vote. You can too!

Background:

If you are a victim of intertrade-connection you have a choice to make.

1) Allow this powerseller id to continue to fraud – do nothing
2) Say NO! Fight back

If you don’t mind losing your data and your money, option one is the best choice.

If you don’t like what happened to you, you must fight back. FraudedBuyersThis is a dangerous seller and a very old one. The FrankenFlash Project can not do all the work for you. We need the army of victims to take down the nasty powersellers. Only when victims join together do these nasty sellers get shut down. The most famous example of what ebayers can do is seller 3totrade. 113 fakes recorded. How did that happen? It happened when eBayers decided to contact other eBayers and warn them. It grew. People tested and contacted others.

In the case of intertrade-connection it is now more difficult since the seller hides behind private auctions. It is not a problem, any feedback that shows “private” for an ebay item number is one thing – Fake Flash! intertrade-connection has made it easy for you. “Private” will lead you to a victim! eBay only allows you to send 5 messages a day, so you need other victims to join in. Get them to report to us at SOSFakeFlash using the Report A Fake Tab

We will take care of the rest and enter the data. You must be curious on the “How”, that we will not reveal. You would be surprised to learn who is unhappy about this terrible problem

Make sure to leave the calling card of “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” in feedback to help others. If you left positive feedback, do a followup feedback to tell the truth! Let people know what you bought from this nasty fraudster!

SOSFakeFlash News July 27 2009

Posted by KittyFireFlash on July 27, 2009

SOSFakeFlash can not issue internet alerts or add fraudulent sellers to the fake flash ebay seller list, based only on comments at any of the sites in the project.

Internet alerts and being placed on the black list is powerful. SOSFakeFlash does not remove an alert. Ever! It does not remove a seller from the list, only update any id name changes if a seller tries to hide by changing id name. Unless there is evidence that a seller sold fake and false capacity usb flash drives or memory cards or mp players, no action can be taken. Innocent, until proven guilty.

Suspicion unfortunately is not enough. These rules are hard. They are tough and it does hinder cleaning up eBay and protecting members, but it is necessary. We deal in facts, truth. It places us at a disadvantage in fighting against these fraudsters.

It’s up to you, report in using https://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/report-a-fake/ or let your eBay fake flash seller get away with it. Your choice. It is also up to you to warn other buyers for the seller.
