Fake Samsung USB

[margknd]

I purchased 2 x 2TB USB's from a seller who claim they are genuine Samsung. They are not. They are fake. I have requested a return the return address is in Germany although the seller claims that the return address is in Sydney. The genuine article from Samsung is $95 he is selling his for $22. After doing research I discovered I have been scammed. Also, I purchased good from the same seller on Catch of the Day and I had to use their customer service to get him to response. I am still waiting for a refund from him there.

   "The genuine article from Samsung is $95 he is selling his for $22. "

That pretty much says it all.

That other site is not relevant here so you're on your own there. Why use the same seller twice on different sites? Fake memory and cheap RAM knockoffs are well-known. For this ebay transaction you are covered by the MBG, simply file as Not As Described.

Then maybe not try to buy $95 items for $22. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's cheap. It's the playing field for that stuff.

I agree they are counterfeit. I contacted Ebay and because the seller answered me with the promise he would replace them Ebay wont do anything. Maybe Afterpay will do something.

I didn't realise it was the same person. The seller on Ebay offered them for half the price of Catch of the day and was using a different name.

I buy ~$95 items for ~$22 all day.. It's practically been my job multiple times over the last 10+ years of reselling. I'm not saying that means there aren't scams; I am just saying that getting a deal on something doesn't mean it *is* a scam.

Similarly, or even to a greater extreme, I have given away a perfectly working pressure washer, computer monitors, tools, NIB packaging supplies, I don't even know what all, all because I didn't have the space for them. We're talking easily thousands of dollars of stuff, because I had a reason I wanted it gone (usually to use the space to make more money than the stuff was worth). If it doesn't make sense and it's too good to be true, then it's too good to be true, but if there is just a reason why they don't want it and you do, then that's just being in the right place at the right time.

I have sold graphics cards on eBay with free shipping, $0.01 start, had them end for less than the cost to ship, they paid, I shipped.. It's eBay.. In fairness, I have feedback, and I listed them because I thought someone might want them and I'd rather not donate them and have them broken in a bin of stuff sitting on top of them, and no, not everyone is like me, obviously, but saying, "If deal -> scam" is... incorrect at best.
