I always warn the ones I care about the same thing. The worst thing about fake/cheap electronics is not that they don't simply work, but that they might work 99 times out of 100, but the 100th time burn your house down due to failed/non existent surge protection or whatnot. It's easy and cheap to convert AC/DC to nominal rates, but protection from burning down is the hard and expensive part.
