Hi guys..

 

Quick question here, I went to a concert last night, I'd been planning for this, for months, and I bought myself a 64gb generic MicroSD, from trademe for $56, if you include shipping.

I filmed the entire concert, to the best, of my ability, despite me having bad backache yesterday, and I was sure to get everything down to the finest detail.

It was only when I was on my way home, I thought I'd check out, to see if I had done a good job, and I found out, that all my videos I recorded, had been corrupted, and the were not playable at all.

 

Despite the three main movie files, saying they were 3gb each, and upon closer inspection with a hex editor, most of the bineries were 00 00 00 00 00 00, and there was minimal data.

 

I was able to recover about 6 minutes, of the concert, out of 2 hours, and I thought it wasn't worth my hassle, and I deleted it.

I was extremely devistated, and haven't felt so shaken in a long time.
I don't want a refund, (No money will get my recordings back) all I want is for the people involved in these the distrubution of these fake memory cards, to be held accountable.

What are my options here?

 

Thanks

jtbthatsme: Yeah don't believe that the genuine ones aren't fakes either. I've bought a 64gig branded card in retail packaging online that turned out to be only a 1gig card. I'd follow the steps mentioned earlier inform trademe & ask for a refund from the seller. If you don't complain you're just helping the guy get away with it or at least potentially denying what could be a good trader the chance to set it right. Although this won't get your recordings back.
Not to mention involving the Police (although to be fair the seller may have been similarly fooled, in which case he probably hasn't committed a crime).
