When using wallet.dat files from untrusted sources, remember this:
As an aside, it is not safe to use potentially malicious wallet.dat files.  Anyone who gets sent a wallet.dat from a third party should take great care in using it. I would not be shocked if it were possible to get arbitrary code execution from a wallet.dat file.  If a bad guy found a way to do that the best way to exploit that discovery would be to pose as someone who corrupted their wallet and encourages people to try to 'scam' them by getting a copy of their wallet or help them with a promise of an outsized reward.
Take precautions, such as using a VM or dedicated system without any of your real data, and wipe it afterwards.

Rule is simple:
Anything what comes from humerh3 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=980573) or any other Russian seller is forged.
Just on a portion of that name (and the fact they already have multiple negative trust feed-backs) reminds me of a serial scammer who is collectively know as humbertin and has used multiple variants of the first part "HUM" or "HUMBER" etc.
Humbertin doesn't speak Russian.
