Batteries, car parts and model-specific computer parts (laptop chargers, etc) also have high rates of fraud.

For batteries, there's so much counterfeit on Amazon, it's even difficult to find real ones.

USB sticks are rife. I had an AV project this past week; needed 40+ media players for TVs around a convention space that needed a USB stick to hold a small MP4 file.

Ordered several sets of '5-Pack' PNY USB sticks over several days, first sets the write time was 1 minute, but the second/third orders the write times were abysmal taking 5-7 minutes.

This bit me the other day, ordered a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-HD and got the Pro model instead. Returned it and ordered off eBay for a bit over $100, figure if I'm going to deal with fakes, might as well snag a deal.
