See Negative FB Tool.
Recently SOSFakeFlash published a notice: Deadline Report Your eBay Fake Flash Memory Seller – SOSFakeFlash. We urge you to report, if you purchased a fake memory card, usb flash drive or mp3 mp4 mp5 players. You will find information at SOSFakeFlash, see their “Report A Fake” tab on the top menu bar.
We catalogue fake flash memory items at this site. It is an important reference archive, used by frauded buyers. Also by potential resellers to avoid buying false capacity flash memory. Do you have one we have not yet documented? If so, send in your information and photos to SOSFakeFlashDrive@gmail.com. Fighting flash memory fraud, needs documentation – prevention. Many potential sellers, the smart ones, research the internet before committing to a purchase from a wholesale site, you can help them by providing information assisting both buyers and resellers to detect the fakes. It is better to prevent resellers from unleashing what SOSFakeFlash calls a “Fake Flash Memory Plague”.
Resellers who harm buyers by selling fake capacity flash memory, especially on eBay are documented at SOSFakeFlash. They were forced to introduce a zero tolerance policy as eBay refuses to prevent the sale of false capacity flash memory. This is why they publish lists of fraudulent sellers, to build evidence, to assist buyers who have been frauded. Do you know how many eBay seller countries have been involved in the fraud? SOSFakeFlash has released the list to us. You might find it shocking to see how many seller countries are involved.
eBay seller countries documented in selling fake mp players, usb flash drives and memory cards:
| Australia
Austria Belgium Canada China Estonia France French Guiana Germany Hong Kong Hungary Iceland India Indonesia |
Ireland
Israel Italy Japan Jersey Laos Latvia Lithuania Macau Malaysia Malta Mexico New Zealand Pakistan |
Philippines
Poland Puerto Rico Romania Singapore South Korea Spain Sri Lanka Switzerland Taiwan Thailand Ukraine United Kingdom United States Vietnam |
Did you believe fake upgraded flash memory was only sold by eBay sellers registered in Asia?
Resellers on eBay are notorious for NOT researching the product they plan to selling, too many are amateurs – not professional sellers. This does a lot of harm to buyers who lose both information and money. When confronted by buyers, they usually remain in denial. For this reason and in review of data for the past three years, FlashDriveFacts agrees with SOSFakeFlash’s zero tolerance policy for eBay sellers who have been caught selling fake flash memory. We salute their stubborn effort, their tenacity to protect buyers. Without sites such as SOSFakeFlash and FakeMemorySentinel, few would ever learn the truth.

H2testw 1.4 – Gold Standard In Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives
Useful for mp players, memory cards and usb flash drives. It’s an old article published in 2008, but it is still the best article available on the internet. It is also the original article that many sites have tried to copy cat or steal. We think it is probably the most important article the author “KittyFireFlash” ever wrote. Over 3100 votes say so.

Probably the best self help article there is.
This article is really shocking!
it will leave you speechless. 400+ comments and track backs so far! No wonder SOSFakeFlash has a zero tolerance policy. We don’t know of any article more damming about the fraud eBay permits.
Could eBay Stop Flash Memory Fraud?
This is an article my team really likes. If you read it, you might like to spend a bit of time reflecting. Could eBay do something to prevent the issue on their site? It is a question so many people ask.
Not everyone is technically inclined. The amazing thing about this article is what a frauded buyer had to say. Obviously you don’t have to be a techo geek to see the obvious or present a solution.
If an ordinary buyer can present a solution and insight, why can not eBay find one?
Flash Memory Chips, The Grading System
Finding information on flash memory chip information was not easy. The FrankenFlash project stumbled upon this information several years ago. It is not something flash chip manufacturers want you to know. Some would prefer it remain Top Secret. We chose to expose the information to assist resellers and frauded buyers.
Upgrading Flash Memory Chips Is Big Business
The video is short and sweet. Perhaps the clearest and most direct there is. Time passes, but nothing has really changed.
Trying To Repair Or Restore Flash Memory Chips To Their Real Storage Capacity
A lot of frauded buyers around the world are trying to fix their usb flash drives, memory cards or mp players, return them to their real capacity, salvage them. Belive it or not, many resellers are trying the same thing, especially since few ever get their money returned from a fraudulent wholesale site.
It is possible? Yes, sometimes it is. It requires a lot of work and research. The best reference site remains
It is an excellent site, they don’t spoon feed people who want to restore upgraded flash memory. It is a site where determined and committed people are willing to read and learn. The FAQ is not something you want to miss. It is not a site for people who want a quick fix. Resorting upgraded flash memory chips is labour intensive, it requires perseverance and commitment.
Flash memory card resorting is very problematic. To learn why you should read
