Yep. For the curious, go search Amazon for "1 TB USB" for a good laugh.

Sadly walmart.com is the same kind of trash. I searched 1TB USB and the top non-sponsored result was this:

Which has some obviously fake reviews along with probably a real comment stating:

"Only problem is the transfer speed sucks and it causes errors in half the files I transfer to it."

Truly emblematic of how these scam USB drives work. And its the top organic result on walmart.com!

Ya, and if you report or comment on the scams, Amazon acts to protect the scams. They have to know what is going on and simply don’t care.
