Where 3367-44fd is the volume S/N of the SD card. If you change the SD card, all the config is lost. If like most people you kept your pics and movies on it, you have to reconfig your viewer.
Hi,
I bought a 128GB micro SD card off an online seller and it wouldn't work for me. It had very slow write speeds and it froze after transferring less than 10GB of data. I tried on multiple computers, multiple card readers and multiple phones (S7 and Moto G5). I suspected it was a fake and ran numerous tests that suggested i was right.
I sent it back to the seller and they have denied its a fake and say theres nothing wrong. They are refusing to refund me. I know the card i sent them doesnt work, i suspect they'll send me a genuine back to cover their tracks. In the meantime i had to purchase another from an actual store since i couldn't wait, so i dont really want the original (or its replacement) back.
Any advice? I have not yet tried a paypal claim or chargeback. I want to be 100% sure i am correct.

Its not the money that worries me, its the fact that a dodgy business (that is regularly mentioned and recommend here) is scamming people.
Thanks.

Peoples in the photography field always spend a good time in researching the best memory card for their camera. One of the biggest concern that the photography community facing is fake memory cards that are available online from so many stores. Even you may find the fake memory cards on Amazon or eBay, some of the sellers are selling those fake SD cards without any brand names while some of them are labeled with popular memory cards brand names like Lexar or Sandisk. The main problem with those Counterfeit Memory Cards is that they are misrepresenting their true storage & capability than you see on the product page. Sometimes you lose the data stored on such card and there is no way to recover it. It is a very important thing that you understand the difference between fake vs real memory cards.
Types of Fake Memory Cards

Fake brand name
Sometimes you may find the big brand labels attached to the memory card and sold at the cheap price. It’s very difficult to identify such a card, but you can always call the manufacturer to verify the serial number of the memory card. You can also read the reviews posted by verified buyers on Amazon or other online stores.
Capacity
Sometimes, you will see unrealistic capacity memory cards. Such as 2TB memory cards are being sold for only $$. Currently, largest memory card available now on the market is 1TB by Sandisk which is official. If you find larger capacity memory card than this, you should be alert, it’s not worth to spend money on unrealistic capacity memory cards.
Another issue you may find is the actual storage capacity of your memory card. For example, you see the memory card labeled as 512GB while you start using the card, it may actually store only 32GB or 64GB or even less than you see on the label. You might never know this issue until you start filling your data inside it. So it is always advisable to check the actual storage capacity of memory card when you receive delivery of your purchased memory card.
Reduced read/write speed
This is the biggest issue that memory card buyers are facing & very common. Suppose you have ordered memory card that shows something like that, “Maximum read speed 95MB/s & write speed is 90MB/s with V30 label. When you use a fast memory card reader with it, you may not even get 10MB/s speed. Such slow memory cards are so cheap as the seller only replace the label of unsold memory card with the attractive label so as it get sold faster.
The only way to check such counterfeit card is to check read & write speed. You can use free tools like h2testw tool that will help you to check read and write speed of any storage device.

Bogus
Sometimes you find the memory cards are being sold at incredibly lowest price from the unknown sellers. You might thinking of buying such cards at dirt-cheap price is a wise decision, but you will regret your buying decision when you receive those cards that do not work. You will also observe that when you contact the sellers, you will not be answered as well.
