Should I get this GPU? 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQFD82H/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?smid=A3MSXB4P8EG86K&psc=1

IT seems to be alright but, also seems kinda sketchy.

Agreed, the I/O gives it away.

Fake. No only buy from companys with a reputable name like EVGA, MSI, ASUS, XFX, etc

Right now is a bad time to buy GPUs, the market is still recovering from the mining craze, it is still suffering from VRAM shortages, and NVIDIA is about to release new GPUs... Fun right?

I hate that they use GPUs for mining.

Well it has potential, the market just wasn't ready... Think of it this way how often are you going to use this GPU? What if it could pay itself off when you aren't using it? Anyways I digress.

Brilliant! 20 hrs that you can use it to pay itself off! except that all currencies but Monero are almost worthless to mine right now...

The prices have been going down very slowly recently, but still going down. Wait another month or 2 and they should fall enough for you to get a 1060 3g for like 230.
