Thanks for the warning!  But it didn't work at all when he gave it to me 
so I'm safe there.

    I don't know where he was plugging it in to charge it but obviously
    it was a USB without power.  The battery was dead!  All I had to do
    was charge it and it appears to be working.  His complaint was that
    it would not turn on, no lights.  It does that now ...  I don't have
    the headset, just the usb cable that plugs in the bottom.
