Is someone trying to con me? You be the judge

I'm the guy that almost dropped $4000 on a ring that would not have been worth it with Diamond.com (before I got some education here)

story here:  clicky here!

I last spoke with the sales at Diamond.com rep 2 days ago. We narrowed down some "other" possible stones and I mentioned that this time around I would NEED to have some crown and pavillion angles on the GIA cert stones before making a decision. He mentioned there was no way he'd be able to get me that info (now I know they obviously do not have those diamonds in-house) He did mention that he did have one diamond that fell within the parameters I wanted that he might be able to dig up angles for... he would get back to me.

Well he did...

I checked my email today and found he sent typed up angle information like this... I'll paste it.

Total Dep.         3.97 mm    61.8%

Table                3.60 mm    56.1%

Crown               34.2 degrees    (33.3 - 35.4 degrees)  14.8 %

Pavil                 41.0 degrees    (40.7 - 41.2 degrees)    43.2%

Culet                 0.5%            Very small

Girdle                2.0 %        (1.6% - 3.0%)    (Medium-Thick)

Not an absolutely horrible stone  but def not as good as good a cut as stones I'd been looking at (6.42 diameter should be more around 6.50 for a 1ct stone) and advised about here at pricescope.com (White flash has some great stuff). I threw the #'s in the cut adviser and the numbers he gave me did pretty well... here we go:

Factor Grade

Light Return               Excellent
Fire                           Very Good
Scintillation                 Very Good
Spread                       Very Good

But I couldn't remember what stone he was talking about...then I noticed he'd also sent the GIA report but pasted into the document and it looked very very small... I tried to discern the numbers but couldn't... So I copied and pasted it into word and enlarged it.... That's when  I noticed I might be being scammed...see if you can notice the discrepancies with the info about the diamond above to the info on the GIA report.... I can't insert the PDF file but I"ll type it up.



Measurement: 6.40-6.17*5.98mm
Weight: 1.01 ct
Depth:  61.8
Table:  56
Girdle: Medium to slightly thick faceted
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Clarity Grade:   SI1
Color Grade:    I

Opinions please!
Can you believe this? I cancelled my order btw....
