FAKE Samsung PRO 64 GB MicroSD SCAM ! WARNING!

[FUSIONdev]

Hi guys. It looks like every geek user has to be microsd scammed on his life... and yes, it happened to me!

I've bought a MicroSD card on eBay from an ITALIAN SELLER with LOTS of feedback points... it was listed as Samsung PRO Micro SD 64 GB.

Well...it was a fake! It's a 8 GB card modified to appear as 64 GB to the system.
I tested it with H2testw ...

This time the fake was EPIC. The retail package was REALLY similar to the genuine one (Look the attached photo!)
The only differences where in some graphic details!

I've made a video to warn users about this card and help to spot FAKE cards:

Please share it and be careful !!!!! Obviously I had my money back and I reported the user to ebay.

I've been refunded, but I wanna warn users!

Who buys a Samsung PRO card, is for taking photos or videos....store big files...

Well: imagine that you put this card on your phone and go on vacantion....you shoot photos and.....nothing!
The photos are all lost!

55 GB are FAKE... 8 GB real... it's PURE CRAP !!!
The eBay seller where I bought it, has sold other 7 cards.....and now is selling A-Data cards (maybe fake too)......

Just look on eBay and you'll find lots of Samsung Pro fakes... :crying:

Thanks for the heads up!!! As a matter of fact, I remember reading in head-fi forum people were complaining about problems with Samsung 64GB card, wonder if it's related to the same thing...

I don't know: the Samsung PRO scam is really new... They used to scam with the Samsung ESSENTIAL series and Sandisk cards.

Samsung has to do something... like some kind of logo/sticker impossible to clone, to certify the genuine product...

thanks I was literally going to buy one on Ebay. Might as well go to Walmart instead <.<

I'm really happy I saved you from being scammed ! You should buy from eBay, but search for something certified and genuine

Thanks for the heads up.

I see that it also says USH-I instead of UHS-1.

Yes!
But at first sight it's really difficult to spot it... incredible replica!

Ment to write "UHS" at both places - but got the order wrong on one of them.
Hard to make a point ...

The difference however were, naturally, that the fake one have got "I" and the original one "1".

Sorry for messing up the post.
