That's so wrong on many levels but in some means, can't fully blame the seller. You don't know if he knew prior of it and or the decal was already affixed.
Getting past the negatives, I would go for the fix and get that frame rolling once again. It wouldn't take much. Remove the paint around it and inside substance, snip the corners and slightly fold in the sides as 'flaps'. Patch with steel and braze. File to finish.
