This maybe not bulletproof advice. I avoid the fraudulent products on
Amazon by looking for items listed by their official brand stores - be
it Samsung, Kingston, Sandisk, .... then I look for fulfilled/shipped
by Amazon.
So far, I have not run into any fakes, albeit at higher purchase cost
than (potential) fraudsters. I assume that the brands police what they
list and Amazon track returns - especially on the items they
fulfill/ship themselves.
Just sharing what I do ...
