OREM - Utah. An Orem man fell victim to a scam he now wants to warn others about.
It's become known as the "white van speaker scam, " where a sound system is sold for hundreds of dollars when in reality it is nothing more than junk wrapped in a nice package.
A remorseful buyer told KSL it looked all too legitimate at the time. But when he got home and looked in the box he had just purchased, he discovered the speakers weren't worth anywhere near what he'd been promised.
In this case, the sales pitch wasn't so much about buying speakers as it was about the possibility of turning around and selling the speakers for much more money to someone else.
The speakers speakers came in good packaging with a suggested retail price of $2,199.
Adam Orchard was driving down the road Friday night when two men pulled up next to him and asked him if was in the market for a surround sound system.
