i know for a fact that pigpony.com campus111.com usa111.com sell conterfeit items- i verified with sandisk that the cf cards i purchased from pigpony were counterfeit
here's all the info on my case:
...
i bought two sandisk extreme III 4 gb cf compact flash memory cards from ebay seller pig-pony and found them to be counterfeit- checked with sandisk corporation and they agreed and started an investigation. i filed a claim with paypal as well.
the owner of ebay accounts pig-pony, campus111 and the owner of those websites (
www.pigpony.com www.campus111.com www.usa111.com ) is name is Jianwen Li and he is the worst kind of business person out there. the reason being his sole goal is to get people to drop their claims with paypal and take back their negative feedback. what's worst is their lies. they sent me several emails saying they never sent the cards because they never got the money coz the paypal claim was preventing them from getting the money. well first off they first claimed they sent the cards and it might take a while (the tracking # was bogus coz nothing was ever done with that #) then they said they never sent it. well last week i received the cards from china via usps global express and i was asked to sign to prove delivery was made. so i opened the boxes and found them to not look right- the font etc. when i transferred some test images with my sandisk external drive (they cards showed up as toshiba cards) i then called sandisk and gave them the upc code and serial #s (then i noticed they were the same which clinched the verdict for me) and they verified they were counterfeit.
so i then posted the information about the counterfeit info on a forum i help moderate (
www.bluetack.co.uk ) and soon after jianwen li contacted the admins to see how the info could be removed (which they wouldn't do - they let me reply lol). now he has filed a report with squaretrade to see if he can get me to remove the negative feedback i left (which brings me to where a week ago where they were no longer registered now they're back)
back to more info on the counterfeit cards:
both boxes had the same upc codes and serial numbers:
SDCFX3-4096-902
6 19659 02242 6
they used a different font and boxes and products did not match up as far as placement of info
