Someone has "worked" on your gun and buggered it. Don't cock the hammer with the gun loaded until you have it repaired. Your bargain gun is going to cost you some money, if you can even find a qualified gunsmith to fix it. Maybe the factory will still do that. I've read that they will still work on most revolvers with a number, so if yours was made in 1957 or later, it will be a Model 28 and qualify.

I think your sear area has been tampered with. Depending on what was done, you may have to replace the hammer and or trigger.

Someone probably knowingly sold you a gun that is dangerous. Hence, the low price. But the gun is a good one, worth repairing and enjoying for years to come!
