Giving you a perfect example about the fakes that are sold on shopee.

So I ask him to send a picture of the box with the  Synnex sticker

 

 

He sends me pictures of at least 20 SSD's. although he claims to have bought only 6, and not a single one with a Synnex sticker

 

 

 

Then this happens

 

 

 

 

You can check the serial numbers in the picture he sent me by yourself

So I thought let's contact the anti-online scam centre about above-mentioned scammer, and see what they have to say on it. After all they are available around the clock.

 

Is it any surprise that after a ringtone for about a minute, there was the voice message, "sorry there has been no answer from your requested number"?

Here is another Thai based scammer with a 96% seller rating.

 

Just go through the reviews and click on the pictures which show the serial number.

 

When I see that at least 5 different people have purchased an SSD with the same serial and DoM, then there are no doubts any more that we are dealing with a scammer.

The OP clearly asked about Seagate Ironwolf Hard Disk Drives for a NAS. 

Why is this thread polluted with posts about fake USB, SSD and NVME storage units???

Jeeze, stay on topic please.

The OP asked if the ones from overseas are all fake.

 

If you don't like my posts, feel free to move to another thread, rather than polluting it with your demands on who can post what in a thread that isn't any of you <deleted>in business

Anybody have any ideas on this?

 

Last month, I saved a thousand dollars by not buying locally here in Thailand. I won't tell you from where. Why? You're not nice.

Paid 3,700bht for a 5TB WD from WD on Lazada.

I'm happy enough with that, the Ironwolf were too expensive for me.

Just loading it up with my TV shows.

That's special. I just bought a Samsung 6 LTE watch.  300 Dollars instead of 500 Dollars here.  Same warranty. Great watch. 

 

Why give schmucks who overcharge everyone the extra 200 Dollars? I spent it on something else I needed.  Again, there is no money here; I paid for it there. 

 

If you were a nicer man, I might tell you.
