I bought 32GB microSD cards that were actually only 2GB. Close inspection reveals the number 3 was added later (misaligned font and lighter white).

Each was also somehow doctored to report back as showing up as 32GB in windows explorer but would freeze once you tried transferring more than 2GB onto it.

Was the microSD card shipped and sold by Amazon? You should be able to confirm on your order details page.
No that particular bad experience was eBay.

Nowadays I rarely buy from eBay unless it is niche/unique/local.

Never buy from Scamazon any more. Used to love them now it's just a gamble hoping you get exactly what you paid for
