Most people in the USA wouldn't know this but Shenzhen is a "Special Economic Region" of China located on the north border of Hong Kong. I had the opportunity to visit this area when I was in Hong Kong and discovered the whole area was a manufacturing ground for "knock-off" items. A whole mall was even devoted to this practice. While I deeply regret you found this out the hard way and deeply wish I could have been there to tell you "NOOOOOOOO!" You don't have much recourse for refund but you may be able to get a little come-upping on this company. The Department of Homeland Security does have investigators who watch for things like this. Customs has a web I discovered, when I got a Nigerian scammer trying to claim they were from Customs and I had an import waiting for me, where you can tip off officials about this company. Nothing may happen but at least you can feel a little smug about giving one back to this company. Sometimes a little self-satisfaction can go a long way. A company with so many names has to be doing something illegal!
