My brother got scammed this way on Facebook... bought a LEGO thing for $35 and received a package that was a picture of it. So as you say, hard to get a refund because they have proof of delivery. He didn’t fight it, but I would have.
Yup.... It's a bummer.
I have paypal on the case.
Will update as things happen.
They say in 11 days they should act.
UPDATE:
I have received good news from PayPal.
All three cases closed in my favor.
E-mails came in from paypal yesterday evening.
Within 5 days I will be credited.

Gil,
I am happy to see you got this issue fixed by PayPal. This is very sad and upsetting that even communities like this can tempt swindlers to do such things.
Thank you for sharing this information. It will help many members in this community.
