"Wish" & "Geek" webstores - BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT MEMORY!!!

Unread post by Mike Ratledge »

My review on Google Play Store:

This is owned by ContextLogic Inc of San Francisco, one of very few businesses ever to rate an F from the "Goldengate" (SF & Oakland area) Better Business Bureau. They also own "Geek", another obviously unfettered purveyor of Counterfeit Memory, especially Micro SD cards of 128gb and larger (100% of their 256gb & 512gb memory chips are fake!). ContextLogic knows, but refuses to do anything, just responds "Thank you for helping us improve your community" or some such bull after being shown the specs for SD Memory specifications: anything larger than 32GB must be marked SD/XC or it is fake. 90%+ of their 128gb micro SD and 100% of 256gb & 512gb is remarked SD/HC chips that hold only 8GB.

I received a single real 128gb micro SD class 10 / UHC 3 memory in a bait & switch tactic, the next lot of 9 was all fake.

Here's the topper: nobody makes 1TB Micro SD SD/XC memory chips yet, but they still sell one:

I bought this for $10 just for shots & grins. The seller "BettyWang" shop said "It is not counterfeit!" on my first request for refund, second time "We are a secret beta tester for Samsungć. Oh, really? Not...

Notice that it's waterproof, etc - on the back, and both SD/HC & SD/XC at the same time...

It fails H2TESTW at the 7.2gb boundary, just like all the others. Shows. "likely defective". Ya think?

As I noted, nobody makes a 1TB memory chip yet, not Samsung nor anyone else.

Interesting article here: http://www.happybison.com/reviews/how-t ... sd-card-8/ Obviously, I am not the only one who has noticed, and Amazon, eBay, etc - all let it happen.
