Here are the responses from the seller to my refund requests (automatically translated from french, but the syntax is still weird in french) :

I got my full refund, but the product is still on amazon

Now my question is : Is there a way to report this scam to amazon? and how?įor now I could just ask for a refund and give bad review, but the only kind of 'report' I found was for sellers to report their products being sold by other sellers. This seller on amazon has other external hard drives with similar price/capacity ratio and sketchy spec sheet I was indeed skeptical with this price but I thought that Amazon was safer than Aliexpress/EBay for this kind of scam so I took it.īut this was indeed a scam, as seen from the fake label on the driveĪnd once I got around 250GB of the drive filled, it started making noises and stoppped responding (but the drive is still working and accessible once unplugged and replugged). I saw this external HDD of 2TB for 35.99€ (price changed since) So this is pretty much what was showed in LTT video Fake Chinese SD Card Scam!
