The idea of Amazon shutting down negative reviews like that is scary. Can't say I'm surprised though...

The fact that 64gb cards are cheap enough to be used for fakes is wild to me. Just a few years ago that "small" size would've been real expensive.

I work in an Amazon warehouse, and we occasionally get investigation trouble tickets based off customer feedback to verify authenticity, and theyll be given instructions to sample x number of products in the warehouse of that item and will often get multiple sites to test. It is likely this item was tested, and that all of their tests were just "Plug into computer and screenshot the device properties," which of course reported the fake capacity. We don't exactly have the most tech savvy people doing jobs like this.

I'm not surprised that Amazon removed your review of this SD card because this happened to me once in the past and now I am permanently banned from leaving reviews on products.

It's also possible that Amazon's "investigation" consisted of nothing more than inserting the card into a test machine and accepting what the OS told them.

Also my theory on why the review was removed is this:
The seller requested it to be removed and used a screenshot of the properties tab to show it "was" the real (fake) storage capacity of 962gb.
Naturally, a person with 0 technical understanding would look at that, take it as face value and presume it's legit, therefore you're lying.
That's my theory.

Waterproof SD cards are very useful indeed.
During an unexpected monsoon my SD card was perfectly safe. The laptop was completely ruined but the SD card was fine!
I rate it 5 out of 5 banana.

The fact that the AI knows that turnips smell whimsical is terrifying

My wife bought some resin and hardener through Amazon that would not cure when mixed correctly. This was evident in the odd poor review but these seemed to come and go after delivery. She left a negative review to warn others that the resin never cures and we got an e-mail to say the review could not be published as it mentioned Sellers, Delivery, Packaging, Pricing or Availability. Altered it and we got the same email you got to say it would be taken down so it looks like Amazon are complicit here unfortunately.

i'm actually shocked that amazon, one of the biggest companies in the world, doesn't have a clear avenue to report fraudulent products

One tip I would add is, if the storage device has an unusual storage capacity, just like that fake memory card, 982 GB, I've never seen any well-known brand use that, they would more likely use 1TB, this is just an example, you can apply the same to different capacities. Hope this helps!

It's entirely possible the genuine reviews are for a different product, such as the 64 GB one. Amazon does a really, really bad job of separating reviews. For example, I've seen plenty of reviews for the wrong console version of a game, or the wrong format of a movie.

That is an infuriating response from Amazon; I doubt Atomic Shrimp is the only person to report identical concerns, so Amazon must be removing loads of similar reviews/warnings.

Fake products on Amazon are a serious issue. I have personally been burned by at least 5 separate counterfeit products on Amazon. Things that I own a legitimate version of and did a comparison in my review. It was obvious from the packaging, or the molding of the product, or the overall quality. I made reviews on Amazon and they were all removed. So, I cancelled my Prime account years ago. I rarely purchase on Amazon these days. I would rather pay for shipping, and get my package in a week than deal with fake cheap garbage. Good video Shrimp!

A couple things to keep in mind when buying storage devices (which I'm sure many people here know already):
- The storage amount is nearly always a power of 2 (typically in GB) e.g. 32, 64, 128 etc, which 982 is most certainly not
- Due to formatting quirks, the amount of storage reported by the OS is usually slightly less than advertised, for example a 32GB USB stick might show up as having 29GB of space on it. The fact that this supposed 982GB SD card showed up as having exactly 982GB of space would be a red flag for me (on top of all the others)

Unfortunately, not everyone is as smart as you, pal. I bought a 256gb thumb drive a couple of years ago and if I remember right, it was about 40 quid. Always wondered why I was unable to view the data I've stored on it but after watching your videos I now know why. Amazon is a big scam and I avoid it 100%. Thank you so much for your videos and content, it's not only educational but also very good entertaining. Have a great week and stay safe, pal.

Maybe the reason why Amazon claims that the product is authentic is because the seller put the 982 GB option as an alternative color, thus basically arguing that they delivered what they promised: a different color option
150 |
The amazon email infuriated me too. I almost thought they actually reacted to your complaint... Good job and cheers

I had to pause the video to let my own blind rage pass. Thanks for going to all this trouble for us, Shrimp. ❤❤

Afterthoughts & Addenda "992?" - if you think you're hearing me say 992, you're mistaken. It's nine hundred and eighty two, but because I'm talking quickly, ithe 'and' becomes 'n'. If you're hearing 992, you're probably from somewhere that doesn't have the 'and' Validrive - Many thanks to everyone who mentioned or recommended Validrive - this appears to be a utility that can perform a fast test to determine whether removable media has been spoofed; I say 'appears' only because I can't fully test this right now (I have no fake devices to hand at the moment); all I can say about this software at the present time is: -- I tested it on a genuine 128GB SD card and it confirmed it was genuine -- It's FAST - it took less than a minute to to test the 128GB card (H2TestW took 2 hours) -- The source is, so far as I am able to verify, trustworthy - the software is available free here: www.grc.com/validrive.htm I will want to test this software on a few fake devices before I can update this, my rather lukewarm recommendation, with something more heartfelt. I hope this makes sense. I've ordered some more obvious scam devices for this testing.
