You did not do your homework. If you took the time to double check things,
you'd have seen that the model number is different. The photo looks
different. You just can't trust a link.

The customer service is crappy, but they are not fraudulent. Look at the
photo and the model number. If they sent was is shown, they did exactly
what you asked. You have a legitimate complaint about service, but you have
no complaint about the product they sold as it is exactly what you asked
for.
