Im saddened if thats the case, especially on here.

Here's a few stratigies I gemerally use when buying parts etc, especially if I have any doubt at all. It might help others.

1) Is the price a little too good to be true?
2) Do a reverse search on google images
3) Review the seller's profile, post count etc.
4) Request a proof of life live video chat with the seller and part.
5) Only pay with paypal and NEVER friends and family, if need be I'll pay the paypal premium. If they want something else I walk away. It may mean I dont get to buy everything I want but saves me getting ripped off again.

That seems to weed out scammers.

Good luck getting this sorted.
