Well... I recently bought a 256 gb Samsung Evo Micro SD Card, directly with Amazon.com (EU).
Thought that it was secure. As a matter of fact, on past February I got there a 128 gb, the same brand and everything, and all was well. But this time, it was a fake one!!! The package was just as the original, no bad quality printing, nor faded out letters. All was good. But when I got the card out, it was all clear.
As soon as I saw it, knew it was a fake. I'm in the process, asked for a refund, already sent it back. But Amazon says that, they only sell original products. That this couldn't possibly happen. I'll update in a few days when they make the refund (or not).
So, be aware, (I know it was old news, just wanted to let you know that there are still on the loose)
I'm sharing some photos. The 128 one on the left, is the real deal. And obviously the 256 one to the right, it's the fake. So take a close look, because there are fake cards, everywhere. Take a peek on the details.
So, what do you think?
Then, where to buy with total security? ? This sucks.
UPDATE: They refunded, but not without a fight. They kept on telling that it wasn`t a fake, that it couldn`t be possible. They were really annoyed; basically angry.
Now the question is, where to buy one? Take another bullet? Or look somewhere else? Don`t want to shoot my foot again.
