Everything in me was screaming, "This doesn't feel right!", but I did it anyway. I was at the bank drive through and when I drove out these two guys, "Richard" and "Aurelio" yelled out of their Tan/Gold Explorer something that I couldn't hear. I thought maybe there was something wrong with my car. They pulled into the parking lot and I followed to see what was wrong. Then they asked me if I wanted some great speakers that they got by accident. Same deal that everyone else wrote about.
They showed the Southwest Audio receipt. Same M.O. I didn't need speakers but I knew my son at UT was looking for some. I have to admit that I went into the deal thinking that even if they weren't what they said they were, for $260 bucks they might at least be worth that. What makes me crazy is that I know better. I even told the guys that while I had heard of Paradyme speakers, for all I knew they could be spelled different than these. Of course, now I know the real deal is Paradigm.
It's unfortunate that no one will read this until after they have been bit.
How many times have we heard, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Believe it!
