Shopped. Having seen many a shop in my day,
its easy to tell. The reflections are all
wrong and the shadows are off.

I can take a photo from more angles if you
want, but I can guarantee it's not
Photoshopped. :p

Hi Im not sure you want to know but I believe
this card is a fake. did u buy it from a
store or ebay? There's a few things that give
it away after once having bought a fake card
myself.

I bought it from an eBay store specializing
in camera stuff, but they did seem pretty
good (feedback was 2000+).

I also purchased mine from a reportable
looking ebay store but it was fake, and like
yours it came with with all the packaging and
CD and case. Even sandisk said it had a
genuine serial number when I enquired with
them about it. I may have kept the card for
the price but after running a disk check on
it in disk utility on my mac the card came
back with sector errors so I wasn't about to
risk loosing precious pictures with a dodgy
card.

I'll definitely look into it though,
hopefully it isn't a fake but it could be.

Looks pretty fake to me - compare it to this or this and check it against temporary_diversion's
comments.

It's nice to see that others have spotted it
too. It's a really horrible feeling knowing
you've been ripped off and thats how I felt
at the time aswell. The seller on ebay had
loads of positive comments about the cards so
it goes to show how many people are simply
unaware they've bought a slower fake. I now
buy my cards off play.com as there cheapish
and genuine. William sandisk will probably
ask for the serial numbers and might tell u
that there genuine as this happened to me,
the guys are great at faking the serial
numbers too it seems. Hope you find something
out.

I've just bought such a fake from eBay and
unpacked it half an hour ago.

Confirmed, it's a fake.
Dear Willaim,

What if you have 'fake' cards that work well
at a fraction of the cost? To a point a lot
of this debate must be scaremongering trying
to convince people to fork over much more
money for a 'genuine' SanDisk when they are
all made in approximate conditions in the
Chinese Machine.

@gender bender: A cheap card (clone/fake or
just an el-cheapo make/model) will have
nothing like the same read/write rates as a
real Sandisk (or other make of)
high-performance card.

Exactly, memory cards are not made to the
same standards, my fake already had disk
errors in disk utility, nothing a genuine
memory card of mine has ever shown. I'm glad
you finally got the truth william.

So far it seems to be holding up perfectly,
however, I'm not THAT fussed it's actually a
fake, because I paid about half the retail
price for it on eBay, which is roughly what a
generic 8GB card costs, new.

I recently purchased an Extreme IV 4GB card
from Ebay. It was slow, and didn't look quite
right so I did some searching on the internet
and found its serial number posted on a
French Ebay site !
