As expected, the device is in fact a scam since it does not include any form of shielding tech that could protect its users from the supposed harm.
After removing a component made out of crystal and a plastic case the team discovered that the device is in fact a 128 MB USB drive with a glowing LED that generates a bit of light when it is plugged into a USB port.
