who in sacramento got scammed anyone

I fell for what I think is a similar scam today. "Kirsch" was the brand though, and the story was that they were from an overshipment, and the boss gave them to the employee for a Christmas bonus. (yeah, I know)

Anyhow,

The guys were in a Maroon Jeep Cherokee (circa '99), with Nevada plates 487 PVP

Said his name was AL. Phone number 714.657.5315 Feel free to call him if you have some minutes on your cell plan....

Location: Bank of America parking lot (Rosecrans/Main St.) Compton, CA

same happened to me SAN ANTONIO TEXAS 410 and callagan 2 young guys USV plate X37RGC iS something I can do to stop it? so they don't take Advance of more people. The had more of this system in the back of the truck he give me his phone number (512) 743-8643 . Is something the police can? or they can just do it to the people.

I have just the DVD player you need to hook up this system. Just mail me a check for $3000 and I will send it to you and install it for free. My address is PO. Box 123
Nigeria.

I hear the checks rolling in now. Maybe I should put my real address these Morons will probably send it. Maybe I should tell the greedy b@starts I am doing the work behind the bosses back and pocketing the money.

I just wanted to see this one go back to the top.

There's nothing illegal here, cops can't do much. Re-direct your anger at yourself and resolve to never get hard-sold again. I've been scammed in other things, and I won't get scammed again.

Besides, if you're in the market for some large cabinet speakers that are really cheap, Theater Logic might not be a bad choice. I wouldn't pay over $200 a pair for them.

To all of you who got them for less than $200, good job!

No, to those who got them for less than $50 and then got rid of them quickly, good job.

buddy for what you get the prices are fairly reasonable and the kids doing this are just budding entreprenurs
if you were smarter you would just say no thanks and have a nice day
being an asshole won't help anyone

Man i feel like a sucker now. im glad i only paid 120 though. it was two guys in a white van. with the license plate 4G77125...California...but this kind of sucks. so if anyone ever sees the again...slap them for me.

Just got scammed my self in Houston!! ! Same two guys in the Durango license plate of the Vehicle is V27-RLR with the magazine and all. Called the police and basically there is nothing they can do you're just scammed! This really bites and I guess a good lesson learned. If a deal sounds to good to be true it problably is. The guy was dumb enough to give me his cell phone number which he won't answer or if he does pretends that he can't hear you. If anybody gets anywhere with this let us all know. Would love to meet up with these two guys again! The problem is you don't know you been scammed untill you get home and and check eBay or find this site.

Ha ha...

I'm the newest hit. Guy driving an escalade with four of these things hits me up right before my defensive driving class. i talked with him for a while and i took a box for 150. I felt scam but wondered. This guy was a great actor. good story. had the magazine, invoices, carbon copy papers, and knew when to quit. but i bought them......

gonna startcalling his cell if it a real number....

Ahhhh Yes!!! Beevis and Butthead ... Selling supposedly "hot" speakers out of their VAN to vulnerable losers...
These guys have been doing this in Seattle since the early '80s...
I traced them down... They used to wait outside taverns and by cash machines and say "Hey dude... Check out these speakers... we got overshipped a pair... here check out this shipping invoice".... So the poor sucker goes over and they have this pair of Super Theater Turbo BASS MX1000's "They cost 1200$ but we's sellin' dees babies for uh... well 500$ or whateverer"...

So... anyway they are sh*t speakers... but here is where it gets interesting.... years ago I reported them to the Seattle Police fraud division... (They would get several calls a day)...They said - "sorry" they really aren't breaking any laws... it's a civil matter-they have a business license for King County... It's buyer Beware!!!"
O.K. so I bumped into them again... this time they had literature on the speakers... I grabbed one, and there was an address on the literature... Turned out to be this rented warehouse space outside of Seattle, stacked to the rafters with these speakers... With 3 nice plain white vans parked out in the back! The scam was or is - These speakers are not really stolen or hot or overshipped... That is just the story they sucker people into with... The speakers cosmetically look fairly decent, but they are crap... They buy them in bulk, from this Asian fellow for around $120 per pair.... Then each day a couple of these jokers would drive around to parking lots, bank machine lots... and prey on people who thought they were getting a super deal on "hot" merchandise!!!
I managed a HI FI store by the Fort Lewis military base... we also did speaker repair... and almost every other week, we'd have some G.I. come in with a blown pair of these speakers... I'd always play dumb (easy for me to do I know, thanks!), and I'd say something like "Wow these are nice where'd ya get them???" and they would tell me... Uhhhhh, well,,, a couple of guys in this white van.... Then I'd ask them "Did they say they got overshipped one pair?" and these guys would have a look of shock and say uh, yeah!!! How'd you know???
The speakers didn't even have real crossovers... just a capacitor on the tweeter and mid-ranges... Magnets on the woofers the size of a pencil eraser!!!
They are still around here, and in the late eighties started branching out to other cities...
The sad part is, sometimes they'd catch these G.I.s coming out of the bars on PayDay, when the GI's were drunk... and talk them into the speakers, and meet them at an ATM... and some of these poor GI's would come in to get them repaired... and they would end up paying anywhere from $400 to $1200 for these peices of crap... But then again, they would try to convince the unsuspecting "buyer" they were stolen or not inventoried... I don't have a lot of pity for the idiots that would fall for their scam... kinda serves them right...

Those guys sell a frickin' ton of them... A sucker is born every minute... I'm sure they's be selling in-walls pretty soon!

Nope I tried getting 'em busted in Seattle, like 20 years ago!!! The Fraud division said sorry... "They can say whatever they want about twhat they are selling--- as long as they have a resale certificate, it's a civil matter-buyer beware"!!!!!

I can't believe they conned CI guys!!!! That's hilarious!!!

Have you talked to BOSE or GALLO Acoustiics???
