Wow.. this thing even says D-Link on it. Then again, that should probably tip you off since D-Link doesn't sell USB flash drives.

A friend has just sent me the picture below by e-mail. This is a fake 2 GB pen drive someone bought at one of those little shacks that sell computer parts on an underdeveloped country. Ouch!
