It might only be a few dollars, but if everybody who was stung by these crooks lodged complaints with Paypal and included the report from h2testw.exe, not only would they get their money back (instead of the seller) but they'd be shut down far more quickly than they are at the moment so fewer buyers would end up being ripped off in the future. Far too many people write it off as bad luck and don't bother trying to recover their money, and the sellers are aware of this, which is why they continue to sell their dodgy cards until sufficient buyers complain so that eBay eventually shuts them down. I think the main problem is being in a position to obtain incontrovertible evidence that the card or drive has been hacked to read a greater capacity that it really is, and this is where h2testw.exe is worth its weight in gold. That was the last I heard from him (and I even made almost a dollar on the reverse exchange rate as the AU dollar had fallen since I initially bought them. When he told me that he wanted the drives back, I told him that he wasn't getting them because under AU law it was illegal to send counterfeit items through the mail. He immediately refunded my money under AliExpress's Buyer Protection Program. I simply sent screen dumps of the results of h2testw.exe to the seller and he didn't even try to argue the point. I bought a couple of purported 64Gb drives from AliExpress recently and at only US$8 I had a pretty fair idea they'd be fakes, and sure enough, they were. A google search will find it for you very quickly. The very best program for determining whether or not your SD card or USB drive has been hacked, and what its original size was, is the brilliant German utility called h2testw.exe, the results from which are accepted by Paypal as evidence that the device has been hacked and is counterfeit.
