Haze and smudges inside Vortex Crossfire II 1-4

[Zeros]

So I picked this up used and it was delivered today.  Everything looked great until I turned on the illuminated reticle at full power.  I don't know if I have ever seen something like this.  The haze and smudge are definitely inside of the scope.  Now that I did some searching online, I am seeing that a few other people have had this same issue with these scopes.  I'm sure that Vortex will take care of it, but I was just shocked. Has anyone else here ever seen something like this?
