Yea I have seen ones where they replace the outer casing with something like '16G' but really its only 2G.
It's the risk you take with online purchases I guess, it is a big problem with the memory cards used in the Sony PSP consoles.

Oh, the other issue I encountered was the original SD card I used was a fake --- it purported to be a LENXS 16G card, but actually appeared to be an 8G card with firmware bodged up to look like 16G. There are apparently a lot of such cards on the market --- caveat emptor.
