Hi my name is mike martineau and i live in temecula in southern california. Im 16 years old and just resently 2day i was scamed by some really profession scam artist.
When i was going to a gas station with my friend, a white van aproched me with 2 men in it and one was yelling out u interested in a great stereo deal with profession speakers, then he pulled over next to us. He got out of the van came directly to me and shook my hand and told me his name. He then went on on to say he was from this company who is dilvering 8 speakers to some other store and they over stocked them. He then went on to say that the place where they were dilvering them odered 8, and there was 10 in the van. He then pulled out this little carbon memo statig that there was 8 speakers to be dilverd. Next he pulled out these high quality brosures showing the speaker at there price of 900 dollars. He then said because they over stocked he can sell them at a discount. The speakers were called "digital Pro Audio" and when i looked at the box, it had that name on it, and it was sealed in a tape that said digital pro audio on it. When he opend it he pulled it out and there was a warrenty card in it with an adress. Well, after i thought i talked him down to 150 for 2 grand worth of speakers, i took them home, hooked them up, they didnt sound so good.
So i looked them up on the internet. After searching for 1 hour i found there site www.digitalproaudio.net look how simple it is with no explanation. This i find odd for being a great brand. Then i looked them up some more and found them on usacomplaints.com and hundreds of columes posted about 2 men in a white van selling speakers 4 a discount the same way at a parking lot, saying the same lines and using same story.
I guess i was niuve, but i am still up set. Here is a site with tones of columes to read about this so called great dill AKA van scam. Www.speakermainia.com/speak/messages/1521.html. And all the responses to that. Here is one of the scam artest telling people how to scam. Its identilca 110% to what happend to me.
