I think I got ripped off! Help please!

So last week I ordered a Forge wastegate from another member (I wont be disclosing his user name until I find out for sure) but anyways He said it was brand new and yada yada yada. But I recieved it today and for one it looks just like the stocker. It doesn't say "forge" any where on it and its gold. . . All the wastegates I have seen from Forge are silver. . can someone please tell me if I got ripped off

Did you attempt to contact the seller and see if he accidentally shipped you the wrong item? Paypal will require that you attempt to work it out first.

raise the dispute to a paypal claim, if you used your credit card to pay , call your credit card compay and dispute it there too. worst comes to worst you have his home address on the package

You have to watch who you buy from. ONLY buy someone with positive feedback and someone who posts a lot (like me )

That will lessen your chances of being ripped off. Also, I have a stock WGA off my 2005 since I have the Green and the HP WGA, I will sell it to you cheap if interested.
