Beware eBay Memory Card Scam

By DSLRBlog Editors | Published March 10, 2006

Buyer beware, as always. First there was the “buy the box, not the contents” scam where people thought they were buying a product at a knock-down price where what they were really buying was the packaging.

Counterfeit Flash Drives Plague eBay

Lately there has been a huge increase in the number of counterfeit flash drives on eBay. Sellers claim to be selling large drives (e.g 8GB) from name brand companies, like Sony, but they are actually 64MB drives that have been re-labeled. These drives usually break within a few weeks of being purchase. Please digg this to stop the scammers!
