Thank you very much for your quick replies!

It's what I thought. The fork I've got have a star nut fitted and the steer is only 225cm long. That (plus other evidences) confirms that I have been scammed, so I shall proceed with the return. What a PITA...

Is this from a shop, or from a classifieds ad?

...and is it a 60cm?

Is a 54cm one and from a shop (bought online).

I rather wait to the result of the return and refund process (or a partial refund and keep it as an used frame). If this goes fine I still give credit to the shop as a semi-trustable one. If not, I will give the name as a warning for future shoppers.

Phew. I mean if I was selling one I'd have no idea if I had chopped the steerer and knocked a star nut in ๐Ÿ˜‰ Seriously Unciclista might be was returned to the shop like that and they were unaware. Think your approach is the right one...

Mine is a factory build 54 and I haven't adjusted fork length so have 25mm of spacers on it. Steerer is 225mm....

I have the chance of a well priced used 931 from a friend. It's not been ridden much so he can't really tell me what it's like. I'd probably just use it over the winter for 80+ mile rides. Is it suited/comfortable for this mileage or is it just a daily commute bike? That's what it is currently being used for.
