Default Scam electronics

I will be giving a talk on scam electronics, totally bogus
devices sold to the public. I have full details of a couple
of such devices but would like to know of a few others --
particularly any giveaways or signatures to them being
scams, without having to open the boxes. Pointers, etc,
to some scam products would be appreciated -- or Web
sites specializing in exposing them. Adverts appearing
in the respectable press, for such items, is no guarantee
of genuinness.


I'm not sure what you mean by "scam", other than fraudulent medical
devices, or the E-meter.


like those "shaker" LED flashlights that didn't have the coil connected,no
magnet(just a mild steel bar),and had a pair of lithium coin cells actually
powering the LED.
