Check the brand name and model # of the item, and see whether it is widely sold, and an actual model from the manufacturer.

If the packaging appears different than commonly displayed on other online shops for the item, indications like that can be that it's counterfeit.

If there's no brand/model# available, no real specifications besides the size in GB, this is not a good sign.

Hong Kong/China brand counterfeits can use big brand logos and whatnot -- but they -do- tend to look off. The specifications, model #, etc. tend -not- to be given at all. Just the brand name.

I would definitely tend to avoid the auction sites and similar when looking for this type of product.

And always want a generous return policy just in case.

:)

FWIW my thoughts in any case. God help us I pray.

Founded in 2006, CathInfo is the largest English-language forum dedicated to fostering community and discussion among the Traditional Catholic remnant, scattered throughout the world, who strive to take the Faith seriously and learn the truth about all things sacred and secular.

CathInfo provides information, news, and discussion, as well as a place to meet fellow Traditional Catholics for friendship and support in our struggles with the Modern World.

We welcome the largest possible number of faithful Traditional Catholics of good will, from all backgrounds and walks of life, who are able to coexist in the same virtual space with those holding a wide variety of viewpoints on the Crisis in the Church, which began around 1965 with Vatican II.

CathInfo embodies the maxim: "in necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas." which translates: "In necessary things unity, in doubtful things liberty, in all things charity."

Therefore we allow as much free discussion as possible, and moderate posts only rarely. Think "free speech" minus anything sinful.

CathInfo is the de-facto discussion headquarters for the SSPX Resistance, which it officially supports.
Traditional Catholics worldwide have made us the #1 forum for SSPX Resistance news and discussion in the English-speaking world.
