Misleading "Deals" for Fake / Grey Market Products
Example Thread:
amazon-ca-sandisk-ultra-128gb-microsdxc ... b-2260116/
Deal Link:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B073JYC4XM/
At first glance, this reads like a typical Amazon listing, but I think it's a carefully disguised and misleading scam.
Read the listing carefully:
- In the fine print near the bottom, it states "card only" and doesn't come with the retail packaging of any legitimate SD Card.
- At the very bottom of the listing, it clearly states it is a Chinese market product that they are somehow selling in Canada for a cheap price.
RFD should not be supporting things like this. I think it is an expanding class of scam. Please make it a priority to remove such threads, before more and more people get burned by such 'deals' that which (at best) have no warranty and (at worse) are downright fakes.

- This is almost certainly a grey market product with zero warranty and could even be a fake, but it LOOKS a lot like a genuine product.Legal Disclaimer
