gsmnissi is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake – false capacity memory) counterfeit KINGSTON 16GB Class4 SDHC 16 GB, 16G Flash Memory Cards using multiple item listings.
Registered in the United States, gsmnissi ships from Guatemala.
A victim reports:
The seller listed themselves as being in the US and shipping Priority Mail. To my surprise the package comes from Guatemala in Chinese packaging.
Contacted Kingston directly who verified this was a fake. Kingston never made the SD6/16GB, the only went to 8GB (SD6/8GB), the 16GB is SD6/16GB-U.

They assume since they are avoiding sellers registered in the Orient they will be safe from fake flash memory acquistion. Wrong. The Case of eBay seller gsmnissi demonstrates why. Items from China, routed to Guatemala and sent into the United States. Sale under a USA eBay seller registration.
