Default do you mean to add the socket? If so, you didn't get scammed. You just didn't know that you have to

switch the chip out with the stock chip.

Default You did not get scammed. They sold you the socket for your stock chip..

As Siver Streakin' said, it's up to you to physically change out the chips every time you go to the dealer.

Default I just looked at the chip they gave me....

In the little plastic box and it says GIAC on the chip that is supposed to be stock. so isn't that kind of odd.
