Chinese Fake Electronics

Recently there was a mention in Sprat of fake 2SC1969 transistors being supplied from China. Leon Heller, G1HSM, pointed out to readers of the GQRP list that there's a lot of it going on, largely due to the current shortage of many components. Sparkfun has an interesting account of their investigation of fake AVR chips on their web site: www.sparkfun.com/commerce/news.php?id=350
