Fake 1TB Toshiba External HDD inbound?

So lately, I've been in the market for a new hard drive since I have quite a few files to take off of my gdrive.

I came across this listing here:

I immediately jumped the gun and bought it. But within minutes of really picking my way through the listing, I became extremely skeptical. First off, this isn't the first time I've come across a steal of a deal on an external hard drive. Incidentally, the first time it happened, the hard drive was a legitimate WD.

Now, we have this $29 Toshiba 1tb drive... I did a little bit of research on fake HDD and found this image which scared the shit out of me prompting me to cancel my order.

Look at this... how pathetic. The port is wired to a piece of flash memory, probably a 8gb that is masked to look like 1TB on a PC. Not to mention the weights? Wow, that is desperate! If these counterfeiters put as much energy into creating legitimate products as they do coming up with scams, they'd probably go places. But as you can see, this fake "WD Elements" drive has no platters or any conventional HDD innards at all. The manual looks legit. The trademarks are there too. It's the box that is a dead giveaway... from the chinese text to the sketchy looking barcodes.

Now let's go back to the eBay listing. Besides the obvious incorrect pictures, there are a few things that hint at a ploy. If you follow the link, you'll notice that parts of the description that aren't ripped off from manufacture descriptions have BROKEN ENGLISH. This again folks, is a dead giveaway. Also, notice that the delivery estimation runs upwards to 2 weeks. This is understandable seeing that the seller is shipping worldwide apparently, but at this point, I'm not even going to risk 2 weeks to see my hard drive. They'll probably drive up a good excuse for it. Texas based huh? I don't think so. A lot of counterfeit distributors will lie about their location. I've even been scammed out of money once on Amazon where the seller delayed as long as possible until other customers realized they'd been chiseled and started leaving negative feedback. Fortunately Amazon was good about getting my money back to me.

Now let's hope eBay does the same. I've canceled the order within 10 minutes but unfortunately I still have to "wait" to see if the seller can cancel at this time. I don't think they will try to take my money and ship me the drive, but you never know... the worse thing that can happen is me waiting for a product I know is fake to arrive then paying to have it shipped back. Of course, I'd put up a front with eBay and escalate the case first telling them that it is unethical to return a counterfeit and encourage the seller to redistribute it. I've had issues in the past however where the escalated case was stagnated due to the fact that the seller absolutely refused to budge unless I returned the product resulting in a small monetary loss, a headache and an absolute waste of time on my part and the seller? Scot-free and free to resell his counterfeits.
