junyingdng85009 Ebay Fake Flash Memory Seller Alert – China Sony VAIO USB Flash Drives SOSFakeFlash

a mate of mine brought 15 35 usn sticks from a seller on ebay . they were fake . in china / hong kong they can doctor the insides of a 1 gb usb stick to make it read as if its a 35 gb or more capacity stick .

in the end of the day , we all like to get a good bargain on the net , but be careful when buying usb sticks from the internet .

please pass on the warning .

The same thing also happens with other Chinese memory devices.. mp3 players and phones, pdas and even these new ipad type devices etc.
