Are you looking for a high capacity usb flash drive at a cheap price? Did you go to eBay in search of a bargain? Did you know that over 95% of usb flash drives sold on eBay are fakes? Did you know the DT310 usb flash drive was only manufactured in one capacity – 256GB? Do you think that a counterfeit means a brand name has been knocked off for flash memory but is real flash memory capacity – think again! When a usb flash drive is a counterfeit it is almost 99.99% fake capacity and that means you can kiss your data and information goodbye! Once you exceed the actual capacity of the flash memory chip for storage, your information is NOT recorded, only the attributes of the file will be recorded, not the data. That is what upgraded flash memory is all about, tricking operating system. The chips have been manipulated.
Every day our investigators come find stupid eBay sellers. Yes, stupid. They don’t know a thing about flash memory and they do not check brand names to see if the flash drive was ever manufactured at the capacity they plan to sell. It means only one thing, eBay sellers who are lazy, who want to make a lot of money and who are blinded by the potential profit. Who pays for this behavior? You.
FakeMemorySentinel issues warnings for suspect listings found on eBay. Are all the sellers selling fakes? No. But if you consider the 95% average you can guess the rest. Genuine sellers for real flash memory capacity support our efforts. They don’t like the scammers either. Do they get listed in a warning here? Rarely. Why? Because our investigators are highly trained, they know a lot about fake flash memory, they know about the real prices and they know about the models a company manufactured.
Was information published on the DT310 512GB fake published by the FrankenFlash Project? Yes. eBay seller gadgetgurugr2011 has no excuse. Will eBay suspend him? Most likely. One thing is clear, you can expect eBay seller gadgetgurugr2011’s listing to vanish shortly from eBay. This is why we capture, publish. To make sure there is a record, the listing captured. eBay can do what ever it wants but we will show what was listed for sale.
Why was a DT310 DataTraveler at 512GB permitted to be listed on eBay? Everyone knows it does not exist. Because eBay does not have any safeguards in place for the sale of flash memory. They know about the problem, it is nine years old. They want the money, the listing fees and the sale. They know it is almost impossible for real eBay sellers to make any profit for genuine usb flash drives, but they want to give the appearance that you can buy them on eBay. If they removed fraudulent listings and if the statistics remain current, imagine if 95% of listing were removed, what would you find on eBay for flash memory drives? Next to nothing. This is why they allow the fraud and why you will suffer.
