If you are worried about fakes, Only buy directly from Utsource original store
If you are worried about fakes, specially with out if production parts. Make sure to ONLY buy directly from Utsource original store. Utsource has various vendors, they specify who is selling the item, ratings and more. Utsource original store seller MEANS, it is sold by the company directly who is sourcing from authorized distribution. If I don't see my IC from them, i wouldn't take a chance, mainly since keeping product quality would be out of Utsource reach. And you never know what are those other companies practices. Just like Digikey and Mouser, they sometimes have different seller on their website... But ofcourse, they aren't from Asia... Unless they IC is from Asia.
