What Van scamDanie.: Two guys in a van in an SUV pulled up to me at a Best Buy and asked me, very humbly and acting somewhat embarrassed, if I would be interested in a home theater, home cinema, surround sound system or whatever it was they're hustle. They told me that they're on their way to a job site to install or deliver these high end systems. When they arrived at the warehouse or store to pick up the system they were accidentally give more product than was on the invoice. They then said that if they arrive at the site with the extra systems their boss will just take for himself and money selling it. All he'll do is give them $50 each to keep their mouths shut. Why let their boss make the money, so they tell you they have nowhere to stash it so they need to unload it now before they get to the job site. Now this is the good part. They then show you the item (making sure you notice the MSRP ranging from $1,999 up to $6,999 depending the system), they go so far as to show you a catalog that highlights the system. They will ask for any offer or they might suggest you offer $1,000 but they will take as low as $150.
