Dozens of Fake MicroSDs on Ozon

  • Nov 20, 2021

I was surprised to find that there are many vendors on Ozone selling counterfeit MicroSD cards.

For example, 128 GB card for 820 rubles. Please note that there is no brand name in the title, instead "Canvas Select Plus" (this is the name of the Kingston series of cards). The picture also only has a logo.

Among the many positive reviews in the spirit of "Put it in the phone, I use it, everything works fine." Satisfied with the purchase "there was at least one qualified review. The real volume of the card turned out to be not 128, but 4 GB, and the reading speed is 2 (TWO!) Megabytes per second.

Other sellers put pictures from the original Kingston, but judging by the lack of a brand in the title and description, as well as speed discrepancies in the picture (80 MB / s) and in the description (45 MB / s) this is also fake.

The Wilberries also have suspicious cards, but maybe they are real.

As a result, I bought an original card for 912 rubles (now it costs, alas, 1081 rubles), which looks completely different. I simply chose: her seller was not a partner, but Wildberries himself.

Back side.

I understand that it is difficult for Ozone to fight counterfeits: they will not order and test every card themselves, but I warn you. If the brand is not indicated on the product card, if there is a discrepancy between the parameters in the photo and in the description, it is better to bypass such a product.
