Seems unlikely -- Amazon Basics already have razor-thin margins, I struggle to see the motivation of someone counterfeiting such a budget brand.

- consteval 2y agoCounterfeit meaning not the product they actually paid for. For example, an RTX 3050 probably had thing margins when it came out (or some equivalent GPU with low margins). But! You can still counterfeit it and put in a GT 430 and have the same shroud - and people do just that. Amazon HDMI cables are cheap, I’m sure, but an older spec HDMI cable with no HDCP is probably even cheaper. And you can’t really tell the difference… until everything is streaming at 480p.
