I was approached by a couple of individuals in a Kia minivan. They were going on about how they got extra stereo equipment to deliver so they wanted to make some extra money to go to a strip club. One was named Chris I believe. The driver was named Andrew Bimms according to his driver's license. Who knows if its real or not.
The system was an Olin Ross OR860 theater sound system. They said they didn't want their boss to get it back because he was already a millionaire.
They told me just make them an offer on this system worth $2495. They even showed me a ragged out magazine with an advertisement in it. I offered $400. They asked me for more but I refused. They accepted.
They gave me a receipt with contact numbers and an address. I followed the instructions to cancel the transaction but have yet to hear from the company. I went to the address and it was nothing but a small office out front to train con men with these signs that had things like "attitude is more important that facts" and "Push, push, push and stay with it as long as it takes to make the sale."
I called the numbers and faxed copies of the cancellation as well but never got an answer even though the recording said their hours are from 9 AM to 4 PM. No one was ever at the place when I went. I heard they are their from 4 to 8 AM and from 6 to 8 PM to get the product out and to get the money when the pawns come in.
I even found an ad on hotjobs. Bad thing is that there's nothing illegal with what their doing. Its just unethical and shows just how low a human being can stoop for money. They vastly misrepresented their products. I learned my lesson.
