Faked Kingston 128GB USB Flash Drive Now Removed from Amazon Site

RSS

Amazon customer service was sent the research that went in to writing the article "Are 128GB USB Flash Drives Real, or Fake?" and now, about a week later, they have removed the faked Kingston 128GB USB flash drive from the Amazon Marketplace. Bright Hub brings you the truth about technology- and warns you when it is really a scam.

Take a look at the pictures in the article- in case anyone tries to sell you a drive like this. Until you can find Kingston.com listing a 128GB drive on their product page, remember- if the price is too good to be true- the deal is probably too good to be true.
