I'm sorry to hear someone got scammed...

Especially when it's the amount of 36K.
I assume this was not too long ago? so the deal you got wasn't in the category "too good to be true"...
Do you mind to tell us more about this? I understand you must be in "EVIL MAD" mode... but your kindness to tell us about your experience can be used by fellow purists so hopefully it didn't happen again...
What really scares me is that you said you bought it from someone active on the purists as well? I said scares me because I love to buy from overseas too and in most cases, i really buy the seller. If you would be so kind to direct the seller... I'm sure we would appreciate it. At least the seller (if he's still active) can tell his side of stories.. whether he bought it from other well known purists or AD or trader or if he really is a ^&@*^@ scammer...
You also said that you got the box and papers for this piece that's why you're very calm when someone pointed out that your case is missing a hole... I understand you were hoping that your case is unique... Did you get the original huge plastic survivor case? (I'm honestly not sure that all survivor comes with this huge plastic case looking like a gun case... but my best friend bought 1 about 3 years ago and he got that case... maybe earlier version or maybe all survivor... I'm not 100%)
It really scares me that scammer now can make fake booklet and fake case... I have always been sure that I never got fake/ replica when I matched all the papers to my watch... now, you make me really really worried of buying online...=(
I sincerely hope you can sort out all your matters... getting scammed for that amount of money would be too harsh lesson for anyone...
