White Van Acoustic Image speaker scam

only average

Anyone who was had by the cute girls in the white van in the Sterling, VA area, drop me an e-mail/ baldjohn.wvi@verizon.net

It is an odd story, but I think I know where they are picking up their stash, i.e. warehouse. Anyone interested in this info?

I just bought a pair of the Acoustic Image 6.5 mini tower speakers. The White van was a red truck this time.
I hope they work. I bought an Acoustics home theatre system about 5 years ago and it worked fine so I decided to buy again this time. I think it was the same guy this time as lasst time. Weird. No one has stopped this in over 5 years??

This link to the WHite Van speaker scam doesn't work any more: http://www.frii.com/~rjn/audio/whitevan.htm

Is there any company to call about this 'Scam' or hussel?
If they don't work ,I'll be pissed, but it'll be my own fault.
If you're from Chicago, drop me a line if you found a way to get your money back or something.

Okay, here it goes. Another scammer venting his frustration and trying to get rid of the terrible ill feeling this incident has left me with.
White van guys stop the girlfriend and selll her on this pair of speakers, the "6.5 towers" (which turn out to be decent, maybe worth 100-150$), and a 5 piece surround sound system which is really a joke, like 5 chincy computer speakers.
Girlfriend calls me up, telling me what a good deal she's got going on. And of course, never one to pass by a bargain, I give her the go ahead. 300$ later we have a decent pair of speakers and a box full of plastic junk speakers which I will end up giving to the Salvation Army.
Moral of the story--never ever ever buy anything unconfirmed over the phone from two guys in a white van with out of state plates, and always trust that gut instinct that tells you what's right.
What I really want to know is is this just one family doing this scam, and if it's so widespread why doesn't anyone do anything about it (I don't see these guys on America's Most Wanted, and there are no police warnings that I know of).

they actually weigh something

they probably suck once I hook them up.

i wasn't going to buy them until I thought, well I can go to Atlantic city and spend my money there gambling, or I can actually gamble here and maybe get lucky. only gambled because I was actually looking to get new speakers.

have not hook up yet

so i do not know

Ok, here comes another sucker.
walking on the street, two dudes stopped me and asked me if I was interested some extra speakers they got. they show me the advertsiement with a price of $1149.00, oh, man, what a deal. but when I bought it and opened up the cabinet, I smell the danger. No User's Guide, no Manual or anything else. I know I was screwed up and try to find some information here on the web, ok, now i meet you guys and your story really make me feel better.
I have not try it yet, hope I got the luck to get a pair that at least has a reasonable sound.
by the way, is there anything we can do about this?

The White Van Scam

Sounds good to me. Maybe a little distorted at first, but they're hooked up to an old system

Still waiting

I bought these off the street. The guy said that they were paid for & he was getting rid of them. I talked him down from 400 to 300 & boy, he was a good salesman. The cuties that he had with him didn't hurt either. I was checking to see if I got ripped off pricewise when I found this site. I'm glad that they still work - so far - but I'll keep my fingers crossed and vow to never again buy out the back of a van or Mitsubishi Truck!

You recieve that lovely feeling in your gut when you realized you just got "f"ed.

nuff said

just wanted my name to the list. they work, but it definately feels awful to be taken in such an ellaborate scam. peace.
