Pop into the BIOS and re-load (hopefully) the saved overclock profile, hopefully this should put you back as you were.

What does the system say during boot?

Hi, just updated my BIOS and still no change showing i5 2400 @ 3.1 ghz and my CPU wasnt OC'd in the first place anyway ... i'm really stumped.. installing a new CPU Cooler next week anyway so i can really see if its a i5 2500k i ordered or infact a 2400

Ah I see, you could well have a 2400!

Download CPU-Z and see what this shows, like you say, you will definitely find out when you install a new cooler, I would email the place of purchase and complain.

yep, CPU-Z showing it as a 2400 also

I would try emailing the place of purchase and ask, it may of been a genuine error.
