unbelievable Aliexpress scams

[Ozix]

I was looking up some of the combo deals there, like X99 mainboard, Xeon
and a stick of RAM for $75. Apparently that is legit. Similar packages
have been reviewed on Youtube. (It is crap, can't supply enough watts
if all the cores were going 100%).
But go to portable SDD: there is one 256 TB!!! $39 including postage.
Who falls for these?
Laptop SSD only goes up to 15 TB, and the biggest pro external SSD seems
to be 64 TB.

Some people still believe that.
But if you can still get your money back, this would be a funny thing.

You can pay using PayPal and they are very good about full refunds.

The people who believe it will also probably believe the fake
capacity that the drive shows in the OS, so unless they fill it
up to its actual capacity right away, they won't notice until
later (when they might assume a fault rather than that they've
been scammed).

It always amazes me how many positive feedbacks such listings get,
even when a few have demonstrated that the item's a fake.
Rechargable batteries with inflated capacity figures is another
example that I've seen there.
