Counterfeit USB Key Drive!

I just thought I would give you guys a heads-up that Filtech Computer in Toronto, Canada is selling counterfeit USB Key drives. They are also selling counterfeit "Ritek" DVD discs.

I'm wondering how to go about getting them busted for this.

The drive creates a zillion folders named "00000000.000", making it unusable. I have read that this is a common problem and is caused by them somehow borking a smaller drive to look like it's 2gb.

My drive is a 2gb Sandisk Cruzer Mini.

In the USA we would notify the Authorites and the Companies whos products have been forged. Cananda is differant but I can imagine things would be similar.

I'm going to call the police and Sandisk about it, but only *after* I try for a refund. 🙂

I would call sandisk first. Some companies are nice about it and will exchange it if you tell them the source of your purchase. Microsoft does this.
