I had this a year or so ago from Amazon on a Black Friday deal. A simple I/O test is usually enough to confirm a fake. The sellers are aware of their stock being fake, full refund without return and reported it to Amazon. Ebay have supporting documentation about finding fakes on their platforms and testing authenticity.

- cjnicholls 9y agoThats true but Amazon needs to create a more transparent reporting system that is buyer centered such as seller rating rather than just item. This was also highlighted with Apple chargers so Amazon has a problem with no 'solution' to preventing it.
