Answer 1

first problem is that your mom is a truck driver so that might be a con towards the authentic part of the ipod and if the apple on the back is actually a orange and there is no screen and its made of cardboard, then there is a high chance that you got "ripped off" but thanks for buying it so we don't make that dumb mistake :)

Answer 2

Dude, you've got a bootleg iPod. There is no "green background" or "floating" text when you start it up. It either starts up immediately(if it's just asleep) or display a black screen with a silhouette of the apple logo.(if it's completely off) Selling an 8gig nano for $45 "new" is an obvious giveaway anyway. REAL 8 gig nanos go for $200.
