Go to the Sandisk web site and it will explain how to recognise the real Sandisk Cards.

Im my experience jessops (and currys etc) charge the rrp and other places under cut them so you should be ok

You should be able to beat Jessops prices easily by looking around on t'internet. They're a bit of a ripoff for most things. No wonder they're struggling.

Jessops have too many youngsters without useful experience (and overheads
of course) their card prices are a joke.Play or 7-day are much more realistic

I bought 2 "SanDisk" Ultra II CF cards from a dealer on eBay not long ago. One was a 4gb and the other a 2gb card. I had checked the dealer for a while and he had no negs and all the +ve seemed very happy. Well after a lot of hassle I eventually got the cards! On examination I discovered that they have the same serial no. Alarm bells rang and I contacted SanDisk who confirmed my fears BOTH CARDS ARE FAKE!
Not happy!
Any way have reported the chap but I thought I'd post my experience as a warning to others.
My cards both have the serial no. BH060602516B, and were sold by UK-memory-world88 and they are definitely fakes.
If you have the same number on any of your cards I would suggest contacting SanDisk.
I have bought cards from eBay previously and they have all been OK.

These fakes as so prolific and the prices of genuine cards are so low, I would only consider getting them from reputable retailers. It's not worth the potential hassle. When they were expensive may be but not now.

Hi Barbera,

did you pay with paypal? Via credit card?

If so claim through paypal as they were fakes. If they fail to get your money back, which they will if the seller has cleared his account, file a charge-back through your credit card.

If you paid any other way I guess your stuck with them.
