I recently ordered a phone off of Amazon. Upon starting a return , I sent them back a dummy version of the phone.  Initially, the refund was given/completed but now, a week later, they are saying that I sent back a dummy phone and are requesting I send them the actual phone.

Currently the only options I can think of are either return the actual item or somehow convince a rep to dismiss this as a mistake. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

It's always a risk if they're going to check or not. If it's a higher dollar value they probably will. Even Amazon.
By dummy phone, what do you mean? And was the phone you bought brand new?
