This is another video in our series of looks at scam electronics, but it's more widespread. Fake SD cards have found their way to legitimate retailers by being well-disguised.

Scam SD cards are common. These fake capacities with firmware, explained in this video, and will appear as "32GB" (or even up to "1TB"), but might only support 4GB in reality. It's often obvious that it's a scam, like with mismatched prices or untrusted sellers, but these fake SD cards have begun infiltrating the likes of large online etailers and physical retailers.
