It doesn't strike me as being a big claim, I recently bought some RAM for a NUC a few weeks ago on Amazon only to determine that it was likely counterfeit. It came in an official box with all packaging intact.

I installed it in my system after which it had severe stability issues.

Running dmidecode showed that the part number didn’t match the sticker on the module.
