I was driving down 34th St and 5th Ave No in St. Petersburg FL. I was at a stop light and a white Dodge Caravan pulled up beside me and rolled the window down. Jason Giles the driver asked if I wanted to buy some home speakers. We pulled into a parking lot and this is where the con went down. Jason explained that they made a delivery to some doctors house, but had more speakers loaded into the mini-van than the doctor purchased. Jason asked for $400 to split between he and his partner Jeremy. I talked him down to $300.
Jason loaded them into my car and we drove to the ATM. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the bogus company because they flashed the fake invoice too quick. But Jason's Driver's license says Holiday FL and they claim to frequent the night club in Tampa Florida. Oh by the way they driving a van with the license plate FPMM.
I do have to admit that the speakers don't sound bad at all. I just hope that they don't blow up on me.
