Ha-ha, what a fail. If you’re going to hand over that much money, you should at least do it to a registered company (even through ebay). At least you’d then have some chance of getting your money back.
Forum post on screenshot is fake.
Photo of this USB thing was posted two or more years ago by someone from local D-Link warranty center. A customer brought it there for repair, hoping for instant replace.
By the way it was a Wi-Fi dongle, not flash memory.
EPIC FAIL

you can fix this. Take the USB cord and attach it to a 32-gig hard drive.

FAIL!
That’s not even a fake memory stick, it’s a fake dongle, exactly like the one I’m using right now. And I bought that at futureshop for $60!
Again: Epic FAIL!

I don’t know which is the worse fail, the USB stick or the fact that the guy has to ask strangers on the Internet whether he got tricked!
