When you get your card, check the serial on it, I wonder if it's the same. How do they fake one? Very carefully. During benchmarks, it crashed Pocket Mechanic, consistently. I'm now doing a low-level format (if that's even applicable) to see what the deal is. May be a rebadged 2GB card, or could be anything. Fakers are desperate to get their money, a friend of mine bought a "SanDisk" 2GB Ultra II CF card, it had the pull-ridge on the wrong side, and no serial number. After using it for a while, he ended up losing over 150 photos from a climbing trip. I figured we'd be safe with Amazon, but then again, a third party sold it, so...

Anyway, as it turns out, this "Next Web" sells these exact cards on eBay - and given people's experiences with eBay flash cards, oh boy.
