How can a sd card be fake?

Go to best buy and get one, there cheap now days.
There are multiple forms of fake sd cards, the most common 3 types are:

1) They take say a 2gb sd card and make it show up as 32gb and change the labels. (Easiest way to find out is dropping a large file onto the card)

2) Same as above but a smarter, the moment it fills up 2gb it continues transferring and just deletes the old content leaving only references. (easiest way to find out is filling up the card then viewing first transfered and last transferred content)

3) The hardest to detect cards are ones that failed QC which are stolen and sold as regular cards. Also at times when workers turn on the machines after hours and create cards with poorer quality materials. (no way to fidn out until content on your card start going corrupt)
