Y’all heard of this?
Some guy approaches you, typically in a white van, pressuring you to buy really “high-end” speakers off of him because he works for an “audio company” and they “messed up and gave him extra”… so naturally, he wants to pass the savings on to you.
I was at the ATM today when a guy drove up next to me and gave me this spiel. I looked at him funny and he drove off. My first thought was that he was trying to get my ATM PIN, so I walked into the bank when I finished my ATM business and immediately changed my PIN. I mean… who knows how long he was next to me in his car?
This guy was actually in a beige SUV, not a white van. I imagine, though, the scam was the same. “I work at an audio company.” Really? I eat cows and like it. By the way, do you have any speakers you can sell me?
Anyway, don’t buy speakers in parking lots from people that are trying to pawn them off on you.
