Amazon Warehouse Sonar Scam

Hey All,
 
Amazon Warehouse Deals was (and still is) advertising a "damaged packaging" version of Sonar Pro at a discount.  Thought it might be a good way to save a few bucks as I figured I'd still have to download the latest version of the software.
 
Well, package arrived, and there was indeed a Download/Activation card inside the box,  but when I went to register the product I got a message that the redemption code had already been used.
 
Needless to say I was not happy.  I suppose in the back of my mind I kind of suspected this might occur (someone returned the boxed software to Amazon but already used the Activation code) - though I also thought opened software was not returnable - so who knows?
 
I'm sure Amazon will make good on this - but in the meantime, if there's anyone here from Cakewalk support who can help me out (or if anyone knows who to contact about this matter) - please let me know.
 
And for everyone else - I would avoid buying any software from Amazon Warehouse Deals.
 
Danny V.

    I've seen reports of fake (imported copy) SM57 and 58's being sold on Amazon at one time.  Don't know if they still are.
