noblechannel is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Registered in Hong Kong, noblechannel sold fake 32GB usb flash drives during the summer 2008 and early fall of 2008. Eventually noblechannel was sent to eBay fake flash prision where this seller id remains. Today the sellers feedback looks clean. It is not! To see the ugly truth: http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=noblechannel&Dirn=Received+by noblechannel frauded thousand of eBay members. Few ever got a refund. eBay never contacted or warned them. noblechannel made a lot of money, so did eBay and Paypal.
noblechannel sold:
Recognize these items? Little has changed. The only difference is that few fraudsters dare to super size these usb flash drives to 32GB. You will find them at a 16Gb or 8GB false capacity now.

forexxhusky is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) memory cards. Registered in the United States, forexxhusky sold the memory cards at fairly high prices, just slightly below what you might find at newegg.com for economy brands.
Did forexxhusky sell fake memory cards without realising it? Using private auctions is one of the clearest indications of a fake flash fraudster. Generally sale at $60 to $80 is too low to qualify for this type of auction.
Do you think “TW DVD+R DL 8.5 GB 8X White Inkjet Printable 10pcs” sold for only 13.49 US qualifies to be a private auction listing? Read: eBay Private Auction Listings – eBay Fake Flash Sellers Prefer – Victims Learn The Meaning The Hard Way – A Guide
EBay has specific intent for this auction category. Unfortunately many who engage in fraud on eBay use this category to their advantage. It makes it difficult for eBay to spot them; for victim and potential bidders to inspect what has been sold.
If you bought this memory card from forexxhusky:

You need to test it immediately, file a dispute with Paypal and leave negative feedback to warn others.
Do not waste any sympathy on forexxhusky, he has already violated the listing category intent for private auctions. His 32GB memory card had a big price and delivered tiny true capacity. forexxhusky sold in multiple item listing’s. At the moment because a victim, responded with immediate negative feedback, fake flash seller forexxhusky has withdrawn the listings. Be on the look out for what he offers to make sure he does not attempt to move his remaining inventory once he thinks the coast is clear.
forexxhusky claims the chip was “bad”. Just how bad? The testing results did not indicate a bad chip at all, it indicated super sizing the true capacity to lie and lie BIG. Right now, fake flash reprogrammers are very busy recycling 2GB and 4GB flash chips used in memory cards to grow to 16GB or 32GB. The flood of these fake memory cards on eBay continues to grow and the profits earned by frauding members is hugh.

giesha2 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Kingston 32GB SDHC SD Secure Digital Memory Cards. Registered in Lithuania, giesha2, continued to sell despite being advised his memory cards are fake. giesha2 used private auctions and that earns him the classification of devious.
Deity, a victim of giesha2 reported:
According to eBay’s feedback record, the seller has previous transactions with one now unregistered ebay seller selling lots of fake 32GB SDHC card:
beautyseals
http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=beautyseals&ftab=AllFeedback
I have got a full refund from the seller giesha2 after notifying him that the card is a fake one, yet he is still selling (at the time of writing) his other cards on ebay: item number 250469301384 showing the same packaging as the fake one I received.
Thank you for the good work!
Some eBay sellers just do not want to listen. When they use private auctions for listings memory cards, mp players or usb flash drives, you can be sure the seller is up to no good. A seller who is confident in his product will shout it from the roof tops, not try to hide what he is selling. Never buy from a seller who hides eBayer id’s and then the ebay item numbers in feedback!
Private auctions are used to hide fraud on eBay – the only exception is for items that are extremely “personal“. Read: eBay Private Auction Listings – eBay Fake Flash Sellers Prefer – Victims Learn The Meaning The Hard Way – A Guide

lion94388 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) memory cards. Registered in China, lion94388 sold many fake and counterfeit 32GB memory cards. SOSFakeFlash continues to find counterfeit and false capacity Transcend Memory cards flooding eBay. You are advised NOT to bid or buy on any Transcend Memory cards for sale on eBay. Buy from an authorized Transcend reseller – spare yourself the nightmare that comes from trying to get a bargain at an unrealistic price. A fabulous price, is a fabulous fake! If your photos matter to you, spend the extra money, protect your memories, buy safe!
eBay has conspired with fake flash seller lion94388 to immediately remove all information on the sellers listings. If a brand name is involved, you can be sure that eBay will race to remove any trace, any hint of counterfeit selling with lightening speed. Lately the brand names have been turning up the heat and eBay is starting to feel it. lion94388 has received a suspension and is currently in eBay fake flash prison. Small comfort to eBay members who are victims of this seller.
Fake Flash Seller lion94388 Address From PayPal:
bolian tan room 506,xingchen mansion No.26-28
tianhe south 2 road tianhe district
guangzhou
guangdong province
510620
China
Seller phone number from eBay info – 13416408104
A victim reports:
I immediately knew this was counterfeit on receipt as it had no serial number, as Transcend memory has – Transcend also has a Web site on how to spot counterfeits at:
http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/SerialCheck.asp.
Card had extremely slow read/write speeds, and would not read at all in some devices. Filed a PayPal claim and escalated immediately – eBay had removed all references to the sale including on My eBay purchases, which I think is terrible. eBay had also removed all items from this seller, who had very strong feedback including on this item from prior sales. Info assembled from e-mails and PayPal history. It is also ludicrous to require senders to show proof of returning counterfeit goods to China before receiving a PayPal refund when eBay and PayPal (same company) know the goods are counterfeit. Will forward information to Hong Kong technology police.

Do eBay fake flash victims make a difference? Do they fight back and contribute in the battle against fake flash? Yes they do! Some victims do not just use the information at this site to get a refund, they are concerned for fellow eBay members. They fight back and they have no intention of letting a fake flash seller get away with it, or eBay or PayPal!

turbohiphop is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Registered in China, turbohiphop sold the oldest classic fake during the summer of 2008, at a false capacity of 16GB.

Time marches on. This usb flash drive continues to be supersized in false capacity. turbohiphop sold it at 16GB. The truth is, it is almost never more than 2GB real capacity, some times even less.
This is the oldest most classic fake flash drive sold on eBay. It comes in a lot of different colours If you see any usb flash drive like this one for sale on eBay – STOP those bidding fingers!
You have a fake flash seller waiting to take your money and ruin your data! Never bid or buy on this usb flash drive on eBay if it is advertised at a capacity of more than 2GB!

mick1880 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Registered in the United Kingdom, mick1880 counterfeit and false capacity Kingston DataTraveler 100 – DT100/16GB usb flash drives. mick1880 also sold DataTraveler G2 usb flash drives and a generic model. This seller used multiple item listings and private auctions to hide what he was up to. Only usb pen sticks were sold under private auctions – a clear indication mick1880 knew EXACTLY what he was selling!
A Victim wrote:
Here is a definite confirmation of my fake capacity, counterfeit received today from seller mick1880.
From the outset I was pretty sure it was going to be fake. Price was too low and listing was private. I presumed the listing was private to hide the sales of the Kingstons. Perhaps not.
The packaging was not a proper blister pack, just a printed cardboard (same as picture in listing)with a plastic insert which was easily opened and closed again from the front, a bit like a processor plastic box from intel. There were no serial numbers for verifying with Kingston on the back of the package.
There was no address sent with the drive either, just a plain, large brown, standard (non-padded) envelope with 1st class “Large” stamp. The address was hand written in neat capital letters.
The post mark just says Nottingham as in the listing.
The only contact info is the e-mail for the seller which is mmann@hotmail.co.uk.
The drive was supplied with starview files on the drive with the option of choosing eurovox pre-purchase.
I opened up a dispute in Resolution Centre with the option of asking for refund from seller for the full purchase price.
I followed this up immediately by leaving a negative feedback for the seller, highlighting what was purchased for others to see.
Immediately after leaving the negative I checked my e-mails and found I had been refunded in full in less than 5 minutes total and case closed.
The seller followed up with the message below through ebay messaging system. I have no reason to reply as my feedback says all I need to say.
SOSFakeFlash:
The testing results from H2testw are not being published so victims may independently test and confirm their results. We can say it was one of the worst Kingston counterfeit false capacity usb flash drives on record that would actually hold ANY data at all.
