... So no one falls for this scam, it goes as follows, a van/truck/suv pulls up to you and asks if you need a home theater system, you say yes or w.e else you ask them they pull over, open up the car and u see all these shiny brand new boxes.

This happend to me exept a black van pulled up and white dude started giving me a sales pitch that hes some thing there was a wrong order and he needs to sell these things quick, price tag on the box says 4k, he goes if you make me a reasonable offer ill sell it to ya, etc, it goes on and on, when you get home you open it and in fact its a 10$ plastic system that has watts equal to shitty phone. People got scammed for 150-600$, just beware and dont fall for this. This has actually reached canada from us, us had this for a short while. I was in richmond hill where i got this wonderful offer which i laughed at.

Being knowledgeable about sound systems it already sounded strange because nowhere on the box it said rms or peak nor the guy had any idea what i was talking about.

Take care and good luck!

PS the brand name on the box is paramax, they also have a fake website online

I ran into one of these guys and he started from 400$ and went down to 150$ but he gave up after i kept insisting and offering him 20$.

I know someone that bought a box of bricks

 

I've had one of these guys try to sell me one before I laughed

 

lmao. Although I had a friend who was sold a laptop that was actually some old textbooks. At least he got an education.

 

That sucks lol ^

 

This is nothing new...lol... I've seen this almost happen to a friend almost 10 years ago!!

 

was there a need for 2 of these threads???

https://my350z.com/forum/the-lounge-...reet-scam.html

 

Yep, was there a need to make a post asking me if there was a need for 2 of these threads?

 

Oh man, what a f**kup. How did he not search every subforum possible to make sure he wasn't repeating previously discussed topics?

 

Well, he did create the other one, so nice try.

 

Also beware of a similar scam offering "Davinci" home audio systems. Seen them around Richmond Hill..

 

they sound decent? maybe not $300 but $100 decent?

 

^ for 100 you can get a decent system, for 100$ you can get logitech z5500, amazing system pumping out 1000watts, i have 2 of them and i love them.

regarding davinci i have actually heard about that system in past. On one of the forums that i used to hang around a while back, someone got scammed in to it and tryed to resell it, everyone laughed at him and tolled him to gtfo.

And so what? im trying to be a nice guy and inform people so they dont fall for stupid scams and pay alot of money for something that was put together in a shed out of cardboard and sprayed on with a pretty glossy spray can.

 

Thanks for sharing

 

when i was in cali i had this happen to me, some dude approached me in the parking lot, of course i turned him down.

 

happened to me like 4 times already. also some guy selling armani jackets that were left over from a expo ...

 

hah, funny story. After I read this thread, I googled Divinci because I know like 5 years ago, my friend bought this out of a truck, been using it ever since. I found out it was a scam after googling it and sent the link to him. Haha. This was in Peterborough of all places.

 

lool when i use to work at futureshop. Specially on a saturday night you would see these guys in the parking lot. They would say that this last delivery didn't go through and they work for futureshop and yadayadayda... same ********

 

if anyone wants a $4,000 home theatre system from sorny or panafonic, i can hook you up for $40 plus shipping. pm me for details
