How to spot a fake Samsung battery?

I just purchased a battery on Amazon. http://ift.tt/1Ai8jrQ
It arrived today and I was a little surprised by the "Retail Packaging." Not sure what I was expecting, but seeing other Samsung product packaging, something similar.

Pulled the battery from my phone to check for difference, and everything looks exactly the same except for the serial portion. The text is a bit different than my original battery, with fatter letters. The QR code also looks different. Everything else looks exactly the same...

Anyone have any idea? Would hate to think I ponied up $25 to Amazon for a bootleg. :(
