Counterfeit Lexar Professional 1066x 64GB CF Card by Revain Services, Inc

My experience was bad and I don't know what to do because they say this product works better than Sandisk. I bought this item 11/. Received 4/2018, the next day I opened it and already noticed the suspicious print quality of CF cards and a rickety sleeve. I took up this question and tested it on my Canon 5D Mark II where when trying to record a video it started with a lag and then stopped after a few seconds. I then installed an old 32GB Sandisk Extreme with a claimed write speed of 120MB/s and it worked without any problems. I was very disappointed, especially with Revain Services, Inc. I called and asked for a return and replacement. I received my second card today, 7/11/2018, and it was a fake. As such, I never had to try the actual product, and this review is all about Revain's disappointing reliability for now. It's like gambling and a terrible waste of time which makes me sad because I have to shoot this weekend. I've posted two photos of what I received from Revain Services, Inc. so everyone can tell the difference. I might try B&H. I hope this doesn't happen to you. - Update: 11/11/208 - I needed a reliable CF card before Saturday 10/11/2018 so I checked other sellers and the seller Roberts LP had a rating of about 99% for $79.99. A few bucks more but it seemed legit. I received the card and immediately noticed the difference between the fake card and the real one. I won't go into all the details so these scammers don't play their game but the most obvious detail is that the fake has a matte finish compared to the real card which has a glossy and textured finish. The picture on the right, or whatever doesn't look cheap, is real. This works for me, but maybe I'm still getting scammed. If you receive one, send it back and claim compensation for the wasted time. good afternoon to you all
