Detecting Fake SanDisk Compact Flash Memory Cards

You know the old saying, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Have you bought a SanDisk flash memory card off eBay lately? Got a bargain deal? Better check you haven’t been scammed with a Fake SanDisk Compact Flash card

This page details a fake SanDisk Compact Flash card that I purchased from eBay, and provides information to allow you to easily identify fake SanDisk cards.

I bought the card on eBay, from a seller who has been a member of eBay for nearly 5 years,
and with about 140 positive feedback ratings.
The item was labelled as “Sandisk Ultra II 2GB compact flash card“, with the
description saying it was a
“brand new sandisk Ultra II 2GB Compact flash cards complete all with retail packaging, manafacturers warranty etc“.

The price was very good….in fact, too good to be true, as I found out.
