The fake atmega328p-AU chips will not enter High Voltage Parallel Programming mode. The chip just gets very hot.

I have also noticed chips marked as made in Korea (on reverse side) are often (maybe always) fake.

Random SparkFun 3.3V/8Mhz piece bought in 2016 with mysterious voltage regulator marked with unidentified logo resembling wave a bit and S20G text which is suspicious on it's own:

1E	9D	95	FF	F	CE	FF	26	
FF	C	FF	17	FF	FF	57	35	
39	33	36	31	FF	5	18	28	
17	1	12	6	13	6	FF	FF

Thank you
