Hi, My Cousin was sold a Kingston Flash drive in the streets of Delhi. It was told to Him that it was 128 GB. It has a Kingston label with 128GB printed on it. In windows as well as on OpenBSD it shows 128GB. But you cannot fill it with not more than around 1 GB. I guess this is some kind of

Yes, this is a known scam, they modify the max capacity and sell it as a higher end model.. if you crack it open and attempt to find a datasheet for the flash chip, you'll probably find it's only between 512M/4G. If you buy anything from these shady markets, assume you're going to get swindled.
