I was in Tilton, NH on business when a blue Astro van pulls up next to me, the driver asking me if I would like to buy some speakers. We pull into the parking lot of a local supermarket and he begins to tell me his story, which I find is identical to many others who were conned.
He claims his boss over ordered for a customer and he needs to get rid of the speakers to make money off of them. I tell him I didn't have the money on me so he suggests a credit card cash advance. I pretend to enter the bank and get a cash advance, realizing this is a total mistake, so when I get back I tell him I couldn't get an advance.
Fortunately I didn't fall for the con, but I'd still like to warn anyone else in the area that these guys are out and about looking for victims. Be vigilant.
