Finding Fake USB Flash Disks

[nyn007]

Recently I was victim of fake USB flash disk which I purchased from ebay. This compelled me to do some research and I found an interesting piece of information on ebay while I was in Australia.

I would want to share with fellow ebay buyers.

Hope this becomes useful information before anybody falls victim to cheap fake items sold on ebay.

These fake / counterfeit drives are not compressed. They are electronically altered to report a size that is larger than the real memory.
