Thanks everyone for the info. I will chalk this one up live and learn experience. I do not have that much into so no risk in losing the house. I just wish it at least worked. It would at least still do it's intended job and have some usefulness.
I am just surprised they went to all the trouble to add rust and the chipped paint for a $200 sale.
While I have your all's attention. Here is the case that I have been using. It appears more legit, but the paint job leaves a lot to be desired.
