Information from a friend, who is seriously freaking out following an email from Ebay telling him that he made a transaction with a fraudulent seller. This is how he tells me, and this is why I am telling you about it, that for 7 years nearly 10% of flash memories sold worldwide and therefore in Europe have been counterfeit, as well as most MP3 or MP4 Player sold at too attractive a price on EBay.
Some saw it as an opportunity to fool a customer who was too eager and gullible, and thus make a somersault. By responding to high demand, just by reprogramming memory chips that are far too accommodating, which then display, when connected to an operating system, any capacity wanted and not real. The opportunity was too good, so some unscrupulous people took advantage of it. This is to get 'rich' quickly. This could have gone unnoticed, if it hadn't permanently lost much more valuable data for their user than their support for deceived victims, who therefore began to make some 'noise'. Thus was born: SOSFakeFlash which I highly recommend, on the advice of Bruno. You will find : H2testw 1.4 – Gold Standard In Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives (bottom of page) which will allow you to test your readers, as well as a wealth of information (including certified sellers) and The report on the details of this case, impacting 5 continents.
We thank Bruno for his watch on this one,
And as they say at home, because they are not left out with 15%: Good Luck!
It's beautiful a self-regulated market that exudes health.
Strangelove,
