Some might have seen this, but for those of you that haven't be warned.

This **** is getting out of hand.

Wow. Sometimes a good deal is too good to be true. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the fake stuff was mixed with the good at one point making it a crap shoot whether you received a genuine product or not. Makes me think of all the failed Walbro pumps.

We just got burnt at work via a PCB supplier who sourced their laminas from a company that did not specify origin of stuff. So now, we have a pile of scrap cause the DOD cannot risk the stuff getting put into assemblies.

Very sneaky those chinese man.
