Don't fall for the Flash Drive Scam!
Tired of Ebay Hacked/Flashed USB Keys – SCAMS-Bloggy Bloggy My Blog
eBay Guides - Beware from USB Memory SCAM Also in ebay
This is a HUGE scam on ebay from international sellers offering flash media at ridiculously low prices.
I bought 10 125gb jump drives thinking it was an awesome deal and almost lost a lot of money fighting with paypal to resolve the case in my favour. Check the feedback from who you buy, likely it will be all petty jewelry sales to bump up their 100% positive feedback and then BAM suddenly they sell amazing deals on usb sticks or sd cards.
What they do is reflash the media to trick the computer into thinking it has more space than what it actually has. There are tools to check exactly how big the media ACTUALLY is and in some cases you can get it back to proper size but I was left with a bunch of 2 gig usbs after i did it.... useless.
I looked at the links you provided and they were deleted. What the sellers do is sell a bunch of them really quickly and then by the time they ship out the first set of sticks and it reaches the customer, they dissapear and make a new account with new credentials. This happened the exact same way with me.
The media is also very slow as you described because its basically just copying nothing overtop of itself and lagging. Your first couple gigs of data will be fine but anything after that will be corrupted and unusable.
Google search for usb ebay scams and read! theres a ton of info to help but the best thing to do would be to contact ebay or paypal and get your money back ASAP!
I am sorry if im overreacting and if this is not the issue at all but i got ripped off and I felt like a fool and I dont want to see other ppl do the same thing. You only bought one but
