Coins are like my Kids, and What would you do?

So while Ebay coin shopping I see one I like. I will also mention I used to be an avid Cherry picker. Here’s the coin I bought listed raw.

The coin arrived in yesterday’s mail and I’d grabbed my coffee and opened her up. Upon casual glance it didn’t look right and because my eyes are getting old I grabbed my loupe. Hmmm, the seller sent me a different coin, and not the coin listed. Now, perhaps this was a simple mistake. I then sent the seller a message, letting them know the wrong coin was shipped and I asked if they had the coin I purchased. As of today no response.
So while looking at the listing today it popped into my head. Hmmm, this kid looks good, not too good, but rather familiar. Then it hit me, this was “my” kid, I know this kid and she (yes my kids are all girls) was mine at one time. I’d found this kid, graded and attributed this kid, and put her up for adoption (I sold her). Keep in mind, I know this kid and she’s burned into my memory. (Yes, I’m burdened with Photographic memory)
I then proceeded to retrace my relationship with her, starting from the beginning. I next proceeded over to PCGS Coin Facts and after a bit of scrolling, there she was:

So what exactly is going on here? 1) Seller went to Coin Facts and lifted the images. 2) Seller then circle cropped the images. 3) Seller then lists the coin for sale as the actual coin for purchase…and finally 4) Seller ships me a different coin.

And Jordan fades to the left, takes the shot and Bam, game over.
So at this point seller has not responded and I’m wondering what y’all’s would do?

Maybe you guys are missing the point. I don’t have to wait for a response. The seller pulled a bait and switch, swiping the images from coin facts, listing it as the actual coin for sale (which is impossible) then sending me a random coin.

Yeah we get it. Sellers a creep

Thanks Eddie. I’ve passed a bar in my day, and it’s not defamatory if it’s true. It doesn’t take much of a look before the sloppy kicks in, ie leaving prongs on the crops, etc. I guess I just found things perhaps more humorous as I once made and owned the exact coin.

Yeah. Once owning the same coin is the kicker. I’d be hurt too
