I have heard many stories from people who got screwed already so when I was first approached by these cons in the '80s, I was able to fend them off (but not easily, they just don't know the meaning of give up.) But in recent years, the scam has really been on the rise.Īnd it's not just in America. But any fishy sounding person who sells any kind of stuff from the back of a van or SUV in the parking lot of a Walmart, Home Depot or a supermarket. And it isn't just speakers or even exclusively white vans the cons use. It's not a new scam, it goes way back into the early '70s. You my friend, have fallen victim to the White Van Speaker Scam, aka "The Speaker Guys" And you wouldn't have bought this at all if you knew what it really was. The company web address on the brochure? Fake too. The magazine with the glowing reviews? Fake. The volume control has static and overall, it's garbage. The subwoofer is particleboard slapped together with glue. You got speakers, but really crummy and tinny sounding ones. You race home and begin to set this thing up.Īnd it's right there you find out you've been had. So.You give them $200 and even an extra $20 for beer money because they were so cool. And you begin to salivate at the superlative filled testimonials and reviews by audio experts who were left breathless by the performance of this thing. He/She then whips out a glossy brochure and even reviews in an audiophile magazine. But by some strange ordering fluke, today is your lucky day and they just happened to have this Olin Ross surround sound thing that retails for $5,000 in a high-end audio shop, but if you act quick and run to the ATM and pull out $200 cash, you can get this thing off their hands and be the envy of everyone on your block. Only the super snobs can afford this stuff. This one is from a super boutique audiophile brand, renowned all over Europe Olin Ross. They look at you and lick their chops as they pull over to you and make you a deal you just can't refuse a brand new set of surround sound speakers and subwoofer for $200.Īnd this wasn't just any run of the mill surround sound set-up. They lurk around shopping centers and box stores.Shady people, usually young men (but sometimes young women) in vans and SUVs.
