BEWARE Of Micro SD Cards When Bought Online...

It is unfortunate that online stores like Amazon can't remove misleading and scam product listings.

So... should we only stick with brick and mortar stores like Best Buy?

I think the video says that the misleading MicroSD listings are from Amazon Marketplace which allow 3rd-party sellers and people to sell products like MicroSD card.

I think reading seller reviews, and shopping at sellers with many good reviews can help at avoiding being scammed.

I forget sometimes to look at who the seller is for products when I purchase them through Amazon so this is actually a really great reminder.

I was lucky enough to have a pretty big Micro SD amount of storage. Not sure if the description on the microSD was accurate but the storage although not exactly accurate when formatting, still works properly. I got one at a retail store prior that works and the one I got from Amazon was Samsung.

I got one in my drawer for like over 6 years now as a backup for my current one in my phone, hopefully it is legit

This has been happening for years, you just need to be extra vigilant when buying them.
