Further to @prpixel s observations, using Google image search on the thumbnails of equipment will return examples of the same photo, or one very slightly cropped or cleaned up, on the sites of other resellers.

I think the best protection is to always use a credit card.  Unless you know the seller is legit do not send cash.

Not to beat a dead horse...
When I was trading watches, I always had the seller provide references before wiring funds.
Sorry this has happened to you.
