    The biggest telltales of a fake card are the lack of manufacture date on the card adapter and the lack of a plastic film sealing the plastic container where the card is placed.

    I buy all my disks locally. They probably got fooled as well so we don't have to.

      That makes sense. I will be way more careful in the future.

    There are hefty fines for shipping and receiving fraudulent goods and you don't want to risk this nor do you want to let the scammer receive the card back just to sell it to another victim. Bring up the fact that they are breaking the law and with any further resistance just contact the parent retailer and dispute the charges through PayPal or your credit card provider.
    Once this is all done and you have your money back safely, if the seller's account is still active on the retail platform despite reporting them then be sure to leave negative feedback or reviews under this seller's profile. This gesture will help others avoid the headache of falling for a scam as you did.

      This is not trough eBay and PayPal. The package is opened, so it can't be sold to another one and I got my money back. Also, I left a review for the seller, that they sell fakes. In this particular situation, there was nothing more that I could do, because the online store allows such sellers it seems.

    Wow. Good video. Thanks for pointing this out! Can you send it to Sandisk? They might be able to dig into this problem and help prevent it? Maybe not, but...

      Thank you! Sadly...I was concentrated on getting my money back, so I returned it.

    My 512gb Samsung 980 evo was a fake. It proved to be 128gb. It is not Samsung inside the box. About 30 dollars I paid for new and that is for 128gb worth money as a brand new. Recently I bought real m.2 ssd 512gb from local ebay in the seconhand market for 30 dollars. So if it's the secondhand and sellers are reliable it is just much better product I can get

      Yes, second hand can be a good source, as long as the seller is honest.

    O mica sugestie - incearca sa faci clipurile mai mici, sa comprimi informatia ...mi se pare foarte lung si greu de urmarit. Repeti de multe ori aceleasi chestii. Poate un mic scenariu inainte ar fi bun. Oricum, thanks for the tip.

      Da, ai dreptate, am cam batut campii 🙄

    I put lots of music and mp3s on mine might be ok for that but not video

    • @UltimateDIY
      @UltimateDIY  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, probably for that it would have been ok. But for sure the real capacity should have been corrected with some tool.

    Mate just buy another camera

    • @UltimateDIY

      It's on the list, but a camera that will actually work well in my conditions is extremely expensive.
      What you see on most youtube channels are cameras on the order of thousands of euros/dollars.

      So, easy to say, hard to do.
