I wouldn't trust any ability to "fix" them.  If they've faked the size
identification, they'd have no qualms about selling reject memory
chips, too (that will fail).

But the suggested method doesn't fix them, it just puts a smaller
partition within the space that actually seems to exist.  You're hoping
that this is contiguous space, and that it reliably stays accessible.
