Hey guys,

I just got a usb stick from Ebay that is supposed to be 128gb and I only payed around 15 dollars for it. It wasn't untill after that I found out that there are fake usb stick being sold. I opened it up and took photos of it, but not entierly sure how to upload them here? Although I did write down what it says. Maybe someone will recognize this and can help me out?

It has two chips one small which says :
Chipsbank
CBM2098E
E5B285-02D (could be reading 0 and D wrong)

Then a big chip that says
K6TR on the side
PFC54
10AR
1424
It also has a bit S typed within a tilted square full of lines.

The link to the seller is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361017372790?_trksid=p2060778.m...


Hope someone can help me with this since I don't want to risk loosing any data if its a fake. it does show the correct size in windows but aparently that's easy to fake.

The seller has good reputation on Ebay so I doubt you've been scammed. Either way you could simply try filling up the usb stick until Windows says no. There are probably better ways of testing this.

Try reformatting it. If it has not option to get 128GB its fake.

Turns out it was a fake and only 16gb, not 128gb. I used the program that checks how much data is on it. Just messaged them and asked for a full refund.

Thank you guys for your help :)
