Yeah i've had calimari like that. I just pulled out that really chewy rubbery bit that you described and ate the rest. I wouldnt say you were duped, just unlucky. Maybe it was poor quality or something because its not always like that

best case scenario: you were served overfried, and probably not the freshest squid was used... but I have never seen anything you are describing in the calamari i've eaten; if the entire dish was the same as described, and had very thin pieces, i could see it appearing that way, but even then, seafood is touchy on the stomach, for me at least, and is definitely a food that should not be eaten unless you are sure who cooked it and how- go for quality with this product, save yourself a stomachache

calamari a.k.a. calamares is made by squids covered with cornstarch.
when cooked squids is really elastic, hard to eat but definitely delicious! worth to eat.
