I was approached in a parking lot by a couple guys in a white van. They asked if I might be interested in picking up some high quality speakers for a good price. They had an audio equipment magazine showing the same speakers they had (DOGG DIGITAL home audio tower speakers model: DA600SL) listing for $3,000 a pair. They gave me the story that they somehow got an extra pair in their van and would like to make a little extra pocket cash; the warehouse guys would never know what happened to them. So I let greed get the better of me and allowed myself to be taken for $300. It looks like this scam, while though immoral, is probably legal (except maybe false advertising at worst); All they are essentially doing is approaching people with a false story about the circumstances of the sale and flashing some meaningless numbers from a magazine. All that is required is a little gullibility on the part of the victim. It looks like the developers of this scheme manufacturer included have covered their bases. The speakers I ended up with are actually not worth $300. If you pay more than $150 for these your definitely getting burned. Oh well, live and learn.
