FAKE Lexar 32GB SDHC Class 10 133X cards on eBay! Beware!

[Jman]

I'm loading up another geniune card right now and the write speed is about 5.3 mbs with my cheap USB 2 card reader. Too bad you didn't load that card and test it ... could be OK ... dunno. Like I say the load time would tell a lot... J

Tomorrow or Friday I can run parallel tests on this ebay card and the Genuine I ordered.

I bought it from the same guy as you BA  ... it came without package send from Riga, Latvia.





It has an engraving in back and was made in Korea. I loaded it with a backup from the original SD but haven't tried it in my Brain yet. It looks more real then the fake one in Jmans post but we only know when we try it with the 2-Box.

i came home last night and i almost poop on my pants. i have no more money, if this is fake i am fucked. oh god!!!!

[BURNIN AMBITION]

Cannot copy and paste on this iPad but I get me refund, they claim to buy from wholesalers in Korea and China. Well, there goes ebay for our source of SD's.

so my friend, this guy admitted that it was a fake? can someone post a genuine seller from ebay or elsewhere to buy the card?crap. did you get the money back?

[Murgen]

 BA, relax, everything is oke.

Under Ebay rules he will have to make a refund and he must do this for me and you. I will send my card back and he confirmed the refund. Just make sure you mail him via the Ebay account, do not mail or contact him outside Ebay, that is the trick.

The other thing is hat I expect a genuine card today (same price) from a Dutch shop. I will run the same test on it to match the results and send my fake back on Friday.

The Dutch shop also sends international so you might order there. But let me post my pictures and resuls first. The 'fake' Lexar might work, however, I prefer the original one and not some kind of imitation. I'm at work now, will test and post results tonight.

[BURNIN AMBITION]

ok my friend take care. i still have a little hope that your "fake " is genuine. just please tell me the "load time". if it is 7 seconds perhaps we are fine...

[BURNIN AMBITION]

btw shouldnt he cover the expences of you sending his card back? because if you send it registered to his place then it would be a lot i guess?

[Murgen]

Here we go. Genuine SD has been delivered today. 66,45 EURO. In the Lexar package. I made a picture of the fake and the genuine and you see my finger reflecting in the golden print on the genuine SD. That is the difference. Backside genuine is as Jman described. Uploading content 2-Box into the chip and then I will run the speedtests.

[BURNIN AMBITION]

fuck fuck and double fuck. please tell me the load time on the fake one....

[Murgen]

Copied the 2-Box library to the genuine Lexar and ran the same test. Everything simular.

First the fake card:



Then the Lexar:



As you can see the genuine Lexar writes much faster in the same test.

The proof if the fake works is BA using it on his 2-Box. Mine has not yet been modified and I can only test the SD without 2-Box. I cannot tell you the loadtime because of this.

Mail from the seller:
We will definitely solve any issues we have.
We just buy the cards from wholesalers in Korea/China.
And we didn't know about 2-Box systems. As you see the specific card has been bought from us a lot of times. For example card from your listing has been bought 50 times.
And no one tells anything about any issues with Cameras or Camcorders.
Anyway, as we state on our listings, if card doesn't work on your device, we will return the money.
You just need to approve, that you are able to send the card back to us (we will cover the cheapest return cost).
As soon as we receive confirm from you, we will refund you money.

They refunded the money this morning, checked Paypal and it is there.

Yeah, I'll have no problem getting my money back either. But neither of the sellers I contacted gave any indication they would stop selling the fake cards. I even uploaded pics of the differences. Maybe a little selfish not to act sooner, but as soon as I return these and get my refund I will report both sellers as selling Fake items if they do not stop their listings.

i now have to wait for my card to come... why would this happen to me...anyway, if you know anyone that sells them and sends to greece please do tell....

[Murgen]
