Amazon has to deal with their counterfeit merchandise problem. Try to buy a memory card on Amazon and odds are you get a bogus counterfeit card.
It’s broken for us, it works just fine for them.
I got counterfeit Dove soap.
"Dave"
No, "Dave" is the premium, artisan soap brand. You're thinking of:
"Dive"
We got spray items that had nothing but compressed air in them
Amazon is promoting the counterfeits. They don’t care because the people who don’t return the counterfeit products is high enough for them not to care. You basically can’t buy anything off Amazon these days unless you are ok with getting marked up crap from china
They literally try to gas light you when you try to bring the problem up to them. They sent me an in app questionnaire that then told me that often products don’t work and that people think they are counterfeit. My memory stick was an obvious counterfeit. It’s kinda sick that Amazon does this.
never had an issue since they started separating the third-party inventory from their stock. just make sure it's sold by Amazon.
That is anything but 100% reliable. Have had Sold By Amazon items with stickers on a box you know didn't come from the Manufacturer that way.
When was that?
Mine was sold by Samsung and it was still counterfeit.
sold by Samsung on Amazon means it's in a pile with everything sold by anyone. no surprise it's counterfeit
