Is my Windows 7 software counterfeit?

Question
-
Hi,
I am concerned that I have been scammed but would like a second opinion. Windows has been running fine since a fresh install of an OEM disc in May. Then recently starting display warnings about not genuine copy etc so I tried to activate my Windows 7 via the phone service but was told it isn't genuine and I should contact the seller. Problem is they have stopped trading through the well know auction site where I bought it and now can't get hold of them. And can't get my money back either.
So expecting the inevitable, perhaps you could check out my MGADiag tool results - this is for Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit:

Unfortunately, your installed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium was pirated from a not-for-resale MSDN Subscription account. You will need to purchase a genuine version and update the product key.

Thanks Carey - at least I know now.
Personally I think ebay and Paypal are responsible for allowing these scammers to trade on their website. But that won't help me get my money back past the 45 day cut off. You live and learn.
I have seen replies on here say that an OEM resale Disc will never work but there are plenty of OEMs for sale on there even now from firms which seem to stick around and have plenty of good feedback in the UK. Seems a minefield for those of us who can't afford the full retail version.
Thanks again.

There are plenty of reputable companies selling genuine OEM System Builder copies of Windows 7 in the UK -
etc., etc..
The problem arises because MS stopped selling Win7 Retail versions the day that Win8 was released - and there had already been a huge market in counterfeit Retail copies, despite everything that MS tried to do to stamp it out, including effectively cutting off a lot of smaller companies from access to support materials.
It's still worth attempting to go back to the vendor (if they still exist) and demanding a refund on pain of legal investigation - you never know what may happen!
