    I did receive a refund for the Fake Samsung Micro SD Card, so I agreed not to name them. Just be aware, I checked the sellers feedback and several people had reported the user selling fake memory cards. So the moral for me and others is to always check feedback and if someone else mentions a fake memory card, then steer clear of that seller.

    Thanks for sharing. I recently received 4 -32 GB MicroSD Cards that literally had gold foil for the contacts. The truly sad thing is that they were sent here from the US and not shipped from abroad. The low life scum that did this should rot in data hell for the rest of their existence. I am not blaming all transactions that come from abroad, however, some jerk hole got burned and decided to create a flaming crap sandwich for others. Now I have to fight EBAY, Paypal and this bottom feeder for my money back. It takes time and that is time I lost. Of course they did not work, however, it made me test a few other cards I was suspect on for crashing in my devices or corrupting data. I used RMPrepUSB to test them and they were 8GB cards not the 64GB cards I paid for. For everyone else, spend the money through reputable places and not EBAY and get what you pay for. I have never got a bum card from Samsung direct, Dell, B&H, or Newegg. All buyers beware when you make purchases from suspect places. Sorry to rant on your post. Keeping making video's!

      Quite obviously not a real Samsung Micro SD Card :) I knew it was a fake before I even opened the package but some people won't know until they have issues. Hence why I made this video so people can identify a fake Samsung Micro SD Card before they open it.

    • @billant2

      What puzzles me is, why do they even try to sell fake crap like this? Eventually people will find out, sooner or later.. and unfortunately will even loose precious picture and video when using it in a mobile phone. This just shows utter dumbness on the part of the wanna scammers... SMH!
      Guess the best thing to do is be proactive, and run the H2Test on every single card regardless where it was bought at.

  • @3dPrintCreator

    Only thing I don't understand is that you are not willing to tell the name of the seller as it is a fraudulent seller.
    You are willing to tip Ebay, etc... Then also make his name public. You gave him a chance to react on this, so it's not that he doesn't know.

    • @TechWizTime

    I bought Samsung 32gb (class10) MicroSD memory card similar colour packaging (the fake one you showed) from ebay for £6. Nothing triggerd me to think that it was a fake card apart from your video. The print on the card and packaging looks very clear and accurate to me. Though on the back of the card said Made in Korea and model number ended up with CN as well. When I inserted my card in the slot, it showed 29.4gb available space and I ran the H2testw. Test went very well without any error. Writing speed was 18.1MByet/s and Reading speed 30.0MByet.
    I took the screenshot of the test result but there is no option to upload it here with the comment.
    Do you think its fake?
    N.B: forgot to mention that side of the memory card is also black. NOT WHITE.

      korea or philippines is an indicator of it being genuine if it is china or taiwan big indicator of fake samsung card. as samsung only has plants in south korea and philippines you will only ever get genuine cards from those 2 locations. also samsung has a patent on the white edge design for exactly this reason. further bad news you are not safe from sellers of repute amazon had a supply contamination in their own stock so it is literally gambling if you get a real card or fake... best advice is to test your card if it doesn't pass scratch and sniff test and a write + verify then return it.

      The old adage "You get what you pay for!" certainly hold true with SDCards... Best advice is to buy it from a local big box store (forget online!), which will reduce the chances of ending up with fake cards significantly. As a tip, regardless of where it was brought from, simply run the H2Test on every single card to avoid being scammed. ;)

    I just got a fake (128 GB Samsung EVO Select) from FleaBay seller (elizabeth3q39-7).
    Before coming here and matching all of the stated qualities of a fake, it miserably failed speed tests (on hardware fast enough to produce much better results). The only thing not yet confirmed as fake is the actual capacity.

  • @ironnerd2511
    @ironnerd2511 5 лет назад +1

    I have also had similar problems with pen drives sold at very low prices. Having much less capacity, and failing to write files even though the software reported successful write.
    I am also suspicious about items at very low price with very far shipping dates and wide range of arrival dates. They never arrive. If you contact the seller they react very apologetic asking to wait a little longer please. I have agreed and it doesn't arrive. Contact again and they said they will ship another item. Finally, at the end they issue a refund. This happened enough times to be a noticeable pattern. To me is a tactic because some buyers at developed countries don't care to track items of very low value. But the currency exchange rate makes it significant for the seller at one of these third world countries. They are betting on the chance that buyer will not remember the purchase or won't take the time to reclaim or even won't know how to use eBay features to follow up. They keep the money and don't deliver. I contacted eBay to inform this tactic, but I believe there is nothing in the eBay system to detect the scam. What I do is not to buy memory devices at ridiculous low prices.

    I bought a FAKE just recenlty from Ebay (in fact I've had two in as many weeks off Ebay) a 128gb Samsung Evo Plus and a SanDisc Extreme Pro 128gb The Samsung you mention here ticks every single fake box on your video. Something else I noticed too, ulike my other Genuine Samsung SD Card that I have had for years, is that on my phone it only shows up as 'SD card' where as my genuine one shows up as 'SanDisc Card', I also notice that on the back of the Samsung SD Card itself (in tiny writing) so you need a magnifier to see it, it says Made in Taiwan (and Made in Korea on the packaging) Also both fakes say 'your card is too slow. consider buying a faster card' in the Moto G4 phone. Thank you so much for this video, you have no doubt saved me from yet another fake. Incidentally the Samsung was only £9.99, fortunately I got the money back on this one, but still waiting to hear back from the seller that I bought the SanDisc from: that one was £29.99, so thought it would be OK, but it behaved in exactly the same way as the Samsung Evo in my phone - couldn't save anything to either - they just kept showing up as 'corrupted'.

    Mine has the white edges, the print quality seems good. My package isn't in English yet I got it from an AU seller. I will also try in an actual SD card reader too as I am only getting just under 20mb/s when mine should be hitting 90mb/s and be able to read up to 100mb/s. I am using a cheap SD USB thing so I feel that may be the reason. Going to be doing further tests though. Thanks for the video. It's all kind of pointing to legit..just the speed...Also I'm going to have to wait for 3 hrs as mine is 256GB lol and I'll use the SD adapter that comes with it in my laptop. How much should a 256GB card be reading? Mine says 238GB, which I think seems about right due to other half of it is used for system purposes.

    The fake you got has the correct number font, most fakes I've seen have a different number font which makes these fakes easier to weed out.
    Never purchase Micro SD cards online without being able to see pics unless you are buying directly from Samsung or Sandisk, way too many fakes in the wild.
    Ebay has a load of fakes right now, if seller uploaded non stock pics, you can kind of tell if the SD card is fake by looking at the card and packaging.

    Test finished without errors.
    You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
    Writing speed: 18.0 MByte/s
    Reading speed: 31.7 MByte/s
    H2testw v1.4
    Are these good results, because the packaging says write speed of up to 60MB/s and read speed up to 100MB/s
    Is this 18.0MG/s software or hardware limitations ?

Error message from the drone. I thought there was something wrong with the bloody drone! Guess what colour the edge of the card is.... Black! Checked the write speed. Supposed to be 60mbs. its actually 11mbs. write speed supposed to be 100 - actually 19. Jammy bastards selling this shit. Keep up the great work and great video.

All of mine(most from e-bay) reads and writes at a steady almost 30 and 27mb respectively, so I was under the impression that that was the standard. But watching this I`m beginning to suspect all my cards are questionable at best.

    First thank you for your post and I have learned a lot, I'm here in the US.
    I gave you a 👍! 😀
    However, the bad part.
    Why didn't you simply show the real and the fake naked sd cards, side by side, so your viewers could clearly see the *real* from the fake?
    Thank you.

    I bought a Samsung EVO 32GB microSD card in a red packet. Had a lot of problems formatting it. Sometimes it formats, but at many other times is says "Unable to Format". I have discarded it. Having seen you video I now realise that it is a fake.The blue packaging version is not sold at most retail stores in my country. Tks for the video.

    The first half describes the container and the microsd designs and the last half begins testing out in his pc.
    The 1st half have merits but not overall right, I'm from one of the country he said and I know that our country
    Doesn't know they're selling fake merchandise, almost products I discovered were marked made in China/TH & Malaysia.

    This is from a message from Samsung "Our SD Cards used to be only made in Korea, but about a year or 2 ago, we opened a factory in the Philippines for SD Cards as well. So modern Samsung SD Cards will either say Made in Korea or Made in the Philippines."

    The problem is that buyers do a simple test, put it in their cell phone and then leave good feedback for seller. It may take weeks or months before they notice that some or many photos are missing. Photos like baby's first steps. dash cam video missing after an accident.etc, In the meantime, others see the good feedback and buy more.

  • @toritori2299

    Yo I have a question! The card I want to buy says "32 Evo PLUS", with the plus under the Evo, instead of "Evo+"... Is that Normal for a real one?

  • @zackkahn6992
    @zackkahn6992 3 года назад

    I'm confused. My mem is made in 'Korea', the adapter is made in China (1 year guarantee for adapter mentioned), punch hole through the card, white edges on the memory card and the bar code says EU (im from the UK). So apparently a lot of the signs indicating authenticity are there but it's made in Korea. Can anyone assure me I don't need to worry about it being unauthentic/original? Would appreciate an opinion..

  • @marckydasaint8730
    @marckydasaint8730 4 года назад

    Why was, "Made in Korea," a tip-off to being counterfeit, when Samsung is a Korean tech company? That's like saying that a Nikon or Canon is fake because it said, "Made in Japan."

    Wait, I bought one from a reputable online seller, it says CN on the packaging (and the characters on the packaging is chinese) but the sd card has the white edge and is made in the philippines. Is it real?

  • @jigarpatel1978
    @jigarpatel1978 5 лет назад

    There's a Samsung memory card authentication utility off of the Samsung website that verifies it. Use that. Upvote this so others see. Your package should tell you by saying "authentication available" with a check mark on back, which means you can check with this software when SD card inserted.

  • @Lunatuna920
    @Lunatuna920 4 года назад

    So I purchased a 126 GB Samsung micro SD and some parts of your video point to mine being a fake but other parts point to it being real. The lettering is crisp and centered. The adaptor says Made in China and even has the white samsung logo embossed on the back. The SD card itself says made in phillipines on the back. The only thing that tips me off is that the edges are black. Is it possible that it is just a unit that happened to pass through quality control with black edges or is it for sure fake if a unit has the black? It seems like everything else on it is perfect so I'm hesitant to write it off so quickly.

  • @DardaniaLion
    @DardaniaLion 3 года назад

    Hi, I have a question. I got this sd card from a seller and the package says Made in Korea and the code behind is also CN and not EU. The Micro SD has passed the test with this software h2testw_1.4 without any errors. Is this a good fake or the real one?

    I bought a fake 512Gb sd card months ago from ebay. It did not function correctly, and only less than 10gB can be used. After several attempts to fix it, I feel something is not right with my sd card I saw this channel that tells it is a fake one. I tried to contact the seller on ebay, but the guy is not registered on ebay anymore.

    Samsung was founded in Korea. I card which you are saying that it's duplicate what are the top of the cover the logo is original what do you say about that. I think Samsung hasn't changed the logo yet and CN doesn't mean that it is from China it can Canada because in most of the products which is made in China they mention it as PRC that means people's republic of China so brother please verify this things and make another with full clarification

    I bought several sdcard and everytime they turned out fake ,I found on the 64gb if I put more than 7gb on card it corrupts the files .I bought another one from a new seller and exactly the same if fact everytime I would buy a new one from different people not all from ebay but they turned out corrupt, I can only assume the whole of Europe and Asia is infected with thousands of them in the end I spent over two hundred GBP on cards only to trash them .Its not one make I tried all the top and some cheap and no where was spared .in the end I bought from a over priced shop but it was alot cheaper than buying a card 5 or 6 times

    Okay I did the h2- whatever its called for a 256gb micro sd card and the speed was about 80 for both, should I do the other speed test or no? Also mine did not crash and it did verify the exact amount of memory, so is it real?

    Re: eBay Feedback. I had a seller outright lie to me and eBay knew it. eBay removed my negative feedback after I entered it. It seems that eBay will remove negative feedback at the request of a seller. So eBay feedback is not always reliable.

    Seriously? You pushed the point that the retailer "hanger hole" wasn't punched out? Do everyone a favor and never mention that. Manufacturers routinely ship their merchandise without that hole punched out and that is no way to judge if an item is counterfeit or not.
