Fake Samsung micro SD card?

[Jack thee Ripper]

I ordered a 32gb micro sd card w/adapter from Amazon recently and after doing research I'm concerned it's a fake. I've read in multiple place that Samsung's cards are Made in Korea. Mine says it's made in the Philippines and the adapter says it's Made in China.

I even called Samsung customer service today and got the runaround. They eventually just gave me another number to call but I can't even call it until Monday.

I compared it to another 32gb Samsung card I have (made in Korea) and the orange color is a different shade which makes me worry.

I've used a program called H2TestW but am not sure how accurate it is.

So, if you can help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Was it shipped and sold by Amazon?

Yes it was from Amazon. Some reviews have complained about fakes too.

If it is shipped and sold by Amazon then it is probably ok. Amazon third party is probably fake. The reviews are of both sold by Amazon and by third party

I think the best option is you should replace it immediately. And told them the reason for replacing is it is fake.
