Yes, there are counterfeit cards online, but they can be avoided, and you can find better prices if you follow some rules for buying online. Mainly, you avoid third party sellers. Here's how: How to buy on walmart's site: On walmart's site, the left column of their search results page, there's a filter/tab for "retailer", select "walmart.com". When you're on the product's page, somewhere around the price or purchase button, it should also confirm "sold and shipped by walmart.com". Example: https://www.walmart.com/ip/ONN-MICRO-SD-EXPRESS/15708762625? Or, buy from official SD card brand site: if you go on offical sd card brand sites, they also have an official page to buy cards directly from them. Examples: Sandisk does this: https://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd-cards/sandisk-microsd-express-memory-card?sku=SDSQXFN-256G-GN4NN Lexar's page points to trusted seller pages: https://americas.lexar.com/product/lexar-play-pro-microsdxc-express-card/ Or, You can buy sd cards on amazon & avoid fake cards if you follow all of these rules. This is how I, and people I know, have bought cards for 15+ years. We haven't had problems. - Only buy name brands you recognize/trust - Sandisk, Samusng, Lexar, etc. - Only buy when it's both "sold & shipped by amazon", it should be real. This should keep you safe because you're avoiding third party sellers, or third party sellers you don't know.) - Avoid too good to be true prices. - The more positive reviews, the better. You want, thousands, 10,000+, 100,000+ positive reviews. (*Exception, since Express microSD cards are so new, some of these newer product pages may not have thousands of positive reviews yet. If the other rules are met, you should be ok. Example, Lexar's official amazon page only has 1,262 positive reivews, but is legitimate. https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-microSD-Compatible-Nintendo-Switch-LMSXPS0512G-BNNNU/dp/B0DYBW1MNC )
