Beware this scam is going on in Raleigh. I was approached at the Wendy's on Western Blvd with the claim that these guys who installed speaker systems went to the warehouse and were given an extra set of home theater speakers. They even had a magazine with the speaker system in it that said they retailed from over $3000. They continued to say they would let them go for a steal. Do Not Be Fooled. The speakers look impressive but they are in fact cheap knock offs from China.

10/3/2007 12:40:20 AM

Co-worker of mine fell for the scam. He was at their office the next morning with a baseball bat for a "refund". He also recently saw these guys doing their scam in the Lowe's parking lot on Smithfield. He drove right up to a guy they were trying to scam and convinced him to not buy the merchandise.

10/3/2007 12:55:50 AM

Ahaha, I got asked by a guy in a SUV if I needed speakers at a stop light on Western a week ago. Awesome.

10/3/2007 2:47:42 AM

I would just assume that they would be selling them as used items.

10/3/2007 7:59:53 AM

haha, i actually have a set of those divinci speakers.

got them for $150.

i knew it was a scam. so i took my chances for $150. they sound pretty damn good.

we have it at our beach house and it was well worth $150

10/3/2007 8:14:41 AM

i had some CHICKS trying to sell me some a couple weeks ago in north raleigh.

i just laughed at them and asked if they were doggs.

not sure what they said cause i had started walking away/ didnt care

10/3/2007 8:23:13 AM

i was approached by this white van setup at a bank parking lot in new bern a couple of months ago. as professional as the sales pitch was (yo, dude, wanta buy some hot speakers outta the back of my van?), i had to decline. if only i had their number in case i reconsider.

honestly, the only thing i could think of was going to look in the van, and then getting thrown in the back of the van and being made a coat for somebody...

10/3/2007 8:35:33 AM

hehehe

reminds me of a friend that fell for this


even bought 2 pair as an investment since they were such a good deal

10/3/2007 9:16:04 AM

lol some dudes in a van pulled up to me in the avent ferry shopping center off gorman and asked if i wanted to buy a home theater system. i just laughed at them.

10/3/2007 9:17:37 AM

i've never been approached

10/3/2007 9:18:37 AM

[OLD]

10/3/2007 9:21:40 AM

haha old

dunno what it is about the location, but at the kangaroo on avent ferry i have been hit up three seperate times with this bullshit pitch

i just laugh my ass off at them every time

10/3/2007 9:22:02 AM

the funny thing about them is that they are always so excited and you are just like what the fuck those speakers are pieces of shit

10/3/2007 9:23:00 AM

i was driving on wake forest road several years ago and some dude was "on his way to install a sweet system at hooters" but "the warehouse gave him two sets!"

I had never heard of the scam before, but I was about 19 and curious, so I took a look at the speakers. Granted I don't know a whole lot about speakers, but they did NOT look like a $2500 set of speakers like the guy was saying.

it was obvious to me that it was a scam, so I told him to wait there while i "went to the ATM." A little while later I finally saw him give up, pull off and get on the beltline, heading away from hooters.

10/3/2007 9:23:20 AM

i wonder if could print off some fake money [joking] using one of our nice color printers / scanners and try to rip THEM off

10/3/2007 9:23:23 AM

^^oh, and they were dogg digital brand.

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 9:23 AM. Reason : ]

10/3/2007 9:23:42 AM

10/3/2007 9:25:30 AM

some dude tried to sell me some fake ass jewelry outside the townridge walmart monday.

"yo i can give you a hellava deal man."

THEY APPROACHED ME 5 YEARS AGO AT THE FOOD LION

10/3/2007 9:36:53 AM

someone approached me about 3-4 years ago with this speaker scam at the cary mall. i didn't really get past the "want some speakers from the back of my van" part.

10/3/2007 9:38:36 AM

Haha next time they approach one of you guys, just say "Good afternoon sir. My name is Dr. Amija Akimbo, I am the attorney of the late Prince Kajoobi of Nigeria. Prince Kajoobi recently passed away, his dying wish was to transfer his funds (Upwards of 100 million US dollars) to an American charity. I need to use an American bank account to transfer his funds to this charity and have been given the authorization to donate 20% of it to whoever assists me in the transfer. After doing some research I have found that you are an ideal match for what I am looking for. Please provide me with your bank account number so that I can transfer the money into your account."

10/3/2007 10:05:36 AM

happened to me outside addams book store right when school started

lololololololz

10/3/2007 10:16:23 AM

my old roomate bought a set of "top notch" speakers from some guys at the food lion on western in the infamous white van a few years back. He shelled out like $400, seems like they're upping the ante these days...he plugged them in and they sounded like ass, so he put them on ebay...managed to make a couple hundred.....i guess shit rolls downhill
