You've sunk $4,800 into a supposedly mint-condition 1956 Elvis 'Sun Records' pressing, only to discover it's an elaborate counterfeit. The seller, 'VinylVault_Marcus,' has vanished from all platforms, leaving you with a worthless replica and mounting credit card debt. Now you're face-to-face with a consumer fraud investigator who seems more interested in your purchase history than helping you.
