Do you know this guy?

I got these hoping that they were HC-05 replacement (as mentioned in the product description from the buyer), but I can't get them to work the same way. They won't respond to UART commands.
Actually they don't even broadcast their presence and thus I started to think the pin order might be different on that version, so I though I'd check the pinout for the chip and verify. Where this gets bad is that I can't even find a datasheet that matches the chip.
The chip is 32 pin on there and the only datasheet I find for BK3231 is a 56-pin QFN chip (http://www.bekencorp.com/en/Botong.Asp?Parent_id=2&Class_id=8&Id=85)
Contacting the vendor, he tells me that he can't find the datasheet either... LOL WTF! Is this just a scam?
In any case, I kept searching google image and found a single post from swe-dude (https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=348546.0) that seemed to have the module to work, so, now, I don't know if that's just a scam or if I should try to put some time in getting that to work.
Does any of you got that thing to work, not sure where to start with that...
what do you think?
