Help ON THE IPHONE 5C CAMERA! 5STAAARS

So recently i tried upgrading my phone into rogers however they decided since my phone technically doesn't have an proper upgrade model, they gave my mum $450 and called it even which then my mum thought was just great!

Then my mum thought shed bargain some people on Younge street in Toronto for the new iphone 5c since one of her co workers did that when the iphone 5 first came out. She checked it and made the seller make sure it was unlocked hense it was never in use by someone.

However once i received it however we haven't put it in use due to the SIM card stuff with rogers, I noticed it doesnut really have a facing camera (the one on the screen, i don't know technical name)

Its not like she got it in a plastic bag or anything, she got the compartment all iphone 5c arrive in with stickers, papers, headphones, charger and all so I don't think it was a hard scam like someone putting a fake iphone on the market.

Younge street in toronto isn't some poor street alley, if anyone doesn't know and thought so.

Its a yellow Iphone 5c, 32 gb (I forget the correct number but I know its the 30 something gb one forsure)

IS THIS A SCAM?
Out of honesty.
AM I ABLE TO GO TO AN APPLE STORE
AND SHOW THEM AND GET AN
EXPLAINATION?!

Please help. Please. Please. Please.

Added (1). If its a scam and I bring it to apple what will they do?

It sounds like a scam! All of the new models have a forward facing camera! Take it to apple and they will confirm!

It's a Chinese clone
Apple can't do anything but confirm its fake, then when they do, your mum has to file a police report against whoever sold it to her as its illegal to sell counterfeit goods if she wants any chance of getting her money back
