Are Sandisk SD cards from Argos always genuine? (thelemmy.club)

My second microSD card has corrupted :( I have a feeling I was sold a fake.

I've watched enough Atomic Shrimp to know external storage is a minefield. Argos is an authorised sandisk seller, but so is Amazon and I know they get counterfeits mixed in due to 3rd party sellers. Afaik Argos would only sell their own stock if I buy a card from their stores, right?

Yeah I'm going to stick to sandisk this time.

The only time I've had issues with SD cards before this is with my acekard. The first one just died and the current one needs formatting every now and then but apparently that's common with acekard. The ones in my old android 2 that I use for mp3s and my old tablet have never had issues.
