I got a 5.1 Theatre Innovations system for free I told the guy I know they're either stolen or your selling these as a scam and its illegal and I demanded one or I'm calling the cops so I got a crappy 5.1 system for free
Lol, I bought a DiVinci crapy sroundsound for about $60 from guys in a white van. The sold me the system, because they showed me the specs and it sounded great at the time. But now looking back it wasn't a bad deal for $60. It's a 5.1 home theater, the only thing is the remote half control buttons are not working and I can't find the code for the universal remote control. Other than that it ain't bad at all.
How the fuck do you consider it a scam if the speakers work??? IF THEY WERE SELLING YOU A BOX OF BRICKS THEN I WOULD COMPLAIN. YOU GOT SPEAKERS YEA THEYRE PROBABLY OVER PRICED BUT SHIT YOUR TELLING ME THAT SONY AND BOSE ISN'T. ITS CALLED "COMMERCE"
I think most of the comments on Youtube are funny as hell but I'm glad they actually have people showing that they got ripped off to help the next person like me not to get ripped off. I was on Google looking up a home theater system I saw on Craigslist which ended up being 1 of these off brand names above. They are only asking $125 but I could get it for $75 maybe even $60 but if its a bad product I wouldn't buy it. I also read where you can drop off at Goodwill and get a tax write off.
Oh man...Id love to meet people this daft. If you got $300 to give to two guys youve never met before then you can buy some magic beans off me for $100
The dead giveaway is that they put the price on the box. NOBODY puts the price on the box. NEVER buy anything with the price on the box and never buy it out of the back of a van. :)
You said that he said "This is some overstock, I gotta sell this stuff or else he's gonna keep it. He won't even know if we sold it. " - HUGE RED FLAG. Why is he so much in a rush to sell it if his boss ends up keeping it any ways AND especially that the "boss" don't even know about the item? Their story don't make sense and don't you think it leaves a lot of questions? FYI - reputable manufacturers don't directly print the MSRP price onto the box. This is the oldest trick in the book.
That's not meant to be a "magazine"; it's an "owners' manual" The real brand of speakers is "Hoffman". "R.C.A." Is a TYPE of cable, not brand-not anymore. The "one speaker" is a unidirectional bass. But yeah, it's a scam, these guys operating out of vans are everywhere.
@ThorOdinson14 who cares what words i use, i was pissed and i thought it was obvious english isnt my first language.....ill call this piece of shit the way i wanna call it...mater of fact heres some new appelations : owners manual = toilet paper, rca wires = guitar strings with rf connectors crimped with wire cutters plated gold and sold for 200$, hoffman subwoofer =walkman headphone magnet behind a 6 inch writing paper, plugged to a telephone gauge wire soldered by hand there u happier?
Good thing I know something about pro-audio. First thing that tells you is is not a $4000.00 unit. The receiver and amp unit/s are NOT part of the sub-woofer. The receiver actually uses HDMI and optical input/outputs as it's primary sources. Most $4000.00 systems carry the THX certifications. The connections oin the expensive equiptment are heavy duty and often gold plates as well, no thin garbage metal. there is a whole list of things that says these are not PRO.
According to the XE Universal Currency Converter, the 200 Euros is equal to 263 USD! NO plain old RCA headphone type audio cable is worth more than 10 or 15 dollars + tax.
I am experienced when it comes to this stuff, and it doesn't matter what high quality coating or plating it uses, anything more than 10 to 20 US or Canadian dollars is a complete ripoff. I don't even know if that kind of material is anything any legitimate retailer would have the nerves to sell at that price.
I would NEVER buy from those parking lot guys! Common sense. What if I had a problem or a defect? CANT return it! AND another thing. I always feel kinda uneasy buying from them. Cause the FIRST thing that comes to my mind. Is that the stuff they're selling is STOLEN!
@fueledbymusic3 If you guys want my opinion on this, I thought it was the ol' "blocks in a box scam" which I didn't fall for it, of course. I looked online like you and some of you guys on this forum did and I was partially right. I already got a kick-ass, home theater system with speakers from a legal retail store. The sub woofer and proper cords and wires, Radio Shack. Those moronic "white van scammers" never even figure it out! LOL!
I had two CLOWNS in a white van try and pull that sale on me. They said $400 I told them I had no cash on me they said I'll drive you to the bank. I said listen buddy not only am I at work but I can buy your shitty stereo on ebay and I know the white van scam! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE BEFORE I MACE YOU... cuz im always packin. I never seen to goofs drive so fast ahahahah Dont be a sucker scams are everywhere. Tell them you want to plug it in before you buy You'll see a true scammer will turn tale
i almost got ripped off by some guys in a white van called me over for some speakers, i forgot the brand name name. i was gonna buy until i pulled out my phone and googled the brand and found out it was a scam,
This scam just happened to me today. There was only one guy involved but damn it was so convincing I paid £200 for it. I wish I saw this videos before it happened. Dumbest thing I've ever done in my life. I guess it was greed because I started thinking of how much I could sell it on ebay lol. Feel kinda better now after reading some comments. I can take heart in the fact I wasn't the first.
FUCK I GOT RAPED LATEER on i was in a parking and 2 guy cam out with the same bull shit in St-jerome lolll i bought a paramax im4 digital fusion vs 300$... well it plays pretty well but it doesnt worth 4500$ lol i got scammed man it sucks
Really? I searched up Hauffman on goggle and the second one directed me to a site called con-ads.com ROFL "New Hauffman Home Theater - Luxurious 5.1 System 900W" Yeah, my ass and on the bottom it says
The original price of the product is:
MSRP: €1999.99
$2499.99.
Check the manufacturer's website
I am selling it for only CAD $599.99

FUK PARAMAX, Theatre reaserch, Hauffman. You should report to BBB And FBI. And I always recomend logitech. logitech Z5500 is 369.99 dollars system at frys.
DUDEEEEEEEEE ------------- I almost got scammed TOOOOOOOOOOO..two guys asked me to check the home theature system as i come out a resturant.
same story ,, over stopck and shit,, 2 guys ,, and on the box, sale price was ,, 2000 and he was selling for $500.. i didnt wanted it,, he show me home theater,, 1080P, 3d comatible,,sale price on box $500, i offer $300, he didnt sell it to me... so i left.. shitttt, mean if i wouldve bought it ,, it wouldhave been junk,,, :@ ..
I picked up a hauffman receiver off the side of the road in the garbage - the power cord was cut off, so i soldered a new one on - it works but i need the remote for it - I took a look inside and it's not badly made, but definitely not what the scammers described it as. Thanks for the vid
I just bought a "Paramax IM3 Home theatre system". I should have known it was too good to be true. I payed $200 for it and it was supposedly worth over $4,000. At least mine works and the sounds quality is ok I suppose.
atleast yours came with instructions....the faggot that scammed me didnt even give me the decency..........fuck scammers if i see the mother fucker that fucked me over i think ima ram him with my truck and then fuck his day up for good
@grumm70 youre right......i sold the thing for 20$, told him i got scammed and i showed him this video and he still bought it.....didnt think about the fire hazard thing tho
@TriggerManxL well i did at costco and im really satisfied with it...clear perfect quality, came with a dvd player that does alot more than play dvds, 2 giant speakers and 4-5 small speakers, a giant subwoofer that even shakes a concrete floor!, for the same price the guy in the vid got his :D
Thanks for posting...this happened to me, brought it home, found out it was a piece of shit. A week later I was with a couple buddies and saw the guys who sold it to me,...I got my moneys worth.
I don't understand why people trust someone who walks up to them at a gas station and tries to sell them something. People, anytime anyone just walks up to you out of no where. I guarantee you, it's a scam!
My Logitech 5.1 system on my computer sounds better than that ROFL Nice Buy Sucker ! If you are going to buy out of the back of van, you get what you deserve !
These ripoff speakers would be awesome for a DIY guy. I'd remove the elements from the housings and make my own. A little project that I can claim I did all by myself. That is unless the actual speaker elements are poor quality. In that case no-one can save them.
But they go as low as 150 dollars... Thats really not much money no matter how poor quality they are. Do they make any profit? How much do they pay for them?
@latuman depends on the model and if they are working with an office or independent, if the guys who sold this to him were with an office and they probably were their pay-in was about $200 which means they made $50 each minus gas money and shit. The guy who made this video is obviously an idiot, in fact anyone who calls this a "scam" is an idiot. You think anything you buy at Best Buy costs the same as the MSRP? Nike charges $100 for sneakers that cost $5 to make... it's called capitalism.
If you need to get hold of the manager of ProTechnik you reach him via phone at 503-784-2963 His name is Nigel Griffith you can also visit their main office at 16711 Pacific Coast Hwy #16 Sunset Beach, CA 90742
I just got scammed today by someone selling ProTechnik surround sound. I paid 230.00 for the system. I wish I had known then what I know now because I wouldnt have bought it. I found this video when searching for help with it. Im even more upset now that Ive seen this.

Dude u just saved me hella!!!!!!! someone was selling the same thing on the internet and i was about to go buy it tomorrow but i decided i would look on youtube to hear what they sound like and i ended up finding your video! Thanks!!!
Fuck man I just got scammed 2 days ago!!!! Those fuckers I knew it!!!!!!!!! Good thing I only paid 50 bucks for the piece of crap!!! The brand they sold me said DiVinci!!! But they also had a Volk LCD HD 1080p projector for 600!!!!! Those bitches got me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got slammed in our words, don't blame the speaker guys for your greed. You are acting on a impulse and you learned not to trust any deal to good to be true. probably less you paid than for a anti-scam class seminar(if such thing exists)sorry my friend but that is one valuable lesson for you. Hopefully you will be prepared when you buy a house to not be rushed into a decision. to make you feel better I took people for $2000 for 6 sets of towers, $900 DAV3 and SL900 when I was doing this :-)
You sir, are retarded. You'll spend money one something you don't need simply because it's going for a good price? Be smarter with your money, it's your own damn fault that you got scammed.
Only thing I ever bought that was stolen was from a (friend of a) friend. Guitar amp worth about £400, or £500 I can't remember, got it for £100 I think. Works fine, but I definitely wouldn't have bought it if I didn't know the guy.
1) I've never heard of any of those brand names so why would you think you are buying quality?
2) Just because the system has a sub-woofer it's not high end.
3) "I gotta sell it or my boss will keep it. He won't even know it's missing" Gee, nothing suspicious here. A truck full of stock goes missing. Nobody's going to question that, right?
wow,ou realy got scammed b those fuckin whyte van faggots.and thats not a german brand.they faked the name.haüfmann is not a german name.häufmann would be ok,but it still would be wierd in germany.
some dudes gave me the same pitch, they sounded like an infomercial, i must admit, they are great with psychology and are skilled at social engineering, sucks you got scammed, you should spread the word as i will, these dudes are still active
i wanted a powerfull home theater system. so i looked 4 1 and couldnt find it. so one early morning my mom give me a home theater surround system that i never heard of . so i set it up and its suppoesly 2000 watts yeah rite . its loud but the sub is big probely 10 inches and it looks like it gives great bass and the piece of shit doesnt even give good bass its a piece of crap
i cant wait to find someone trying to scam me for speakers, ill write down there license plate and bribe them for money , if they dont give me money ill call the cops =]
ya my friend got scammed with divinci speakers, 2000$ on box , 700 watts on sticker on speakers, looks tempting and legit, but sound like shit with maybe 50 watts
This just happened to me in a Home Depot parking lot. At least yours turn on...oh well...live and learn I guess. Amazing what people will do to others, especially around the holidays.
my dad got me a home theater system from a guy at home depot that didnt work there and i gotta say.....IT IS DAMB LOUD..it came with 5 sattelight speakers..and 2 big speakers with a dvd/cd/mp3/radio player...and also it came with a subwoofer that shakes my room :) if anyone wants to see it pm me and ill make a vid...but seriosly i could here it from my room(2nd story and not including the basement)
@chickenpoper PLEASE make a video showing off the system so that others can see that there are HAPPY customers out there who are enjoying their new systems and not trolling around like the moron who made this vid. Thanks!
In your list of "Fake Brand Names" is DiVinci. DiVinci is not a fake brand name at all. There are, however people driving around scamming people with merchandise that is NOT DiVinci in boxes that are LABELLED DiVinci.
While DiVinci is not high end, they are relatively good, but not worth 2999.99.
There is a difference between a scam company, and people that use a real company's name in a scam.
scammers got me too only paid 100 for mine and bought the guy a coffee funny thing is he wanted 200 for them and i said comeback tomorrow. researched Divinci speakers found out it was a scam threatened him for my money back the next day. unfortunately for him he didnt know some of my friends are cops and the station was literally right across the street. got both of them citations for selling without a permit and got my $100 back. sorry for your loss thos hope you didnt pay too much for thes
Yea this guy even had a magazine with the sistem pictured in one page he wanted 600 hundred but they went down to 150 , hopefully this shit last at least a year cuz ama try to sell it is the epic sound 600 i dont know if u heard about this shit.
fuck i think I got ripe off he in oklahoma i bougth some EPic sound home theater. System for 150 but actually this shit sounds good , but something tell me its fukin fake the. Quality looks like shit and in tbe box said MSRP 3,659.00
My husband got scammed yesterday.. add "Protechnik, or Pro-Optics" to the list of brands! Except this guy wasn't selling it out of a van, it was new black Cadillac Escalade! We're in south Florida, i guess they have to up their game down here.
same shit happend to me the other day in arizona. all i gota say is nex time i see a fool doin this shit, ima put the cuete to his grill and jack that fool in da middle of da day right on the spot, shit got me heated
sutherland technologies another one for you guys... i never hooked it up yet i cheked it online on google first thing i see... scam fuck man im not even thst mad but it just sucks the machine looks nice though... i wanna hook it up but i unno how to do these things the instructions are so bad honestly horrible... oh well man what can you do you cant feel sry for people like me being so stupid... and in my head i said this is too good to be true... like you said it flippin was!
IT DID SOUND LIKE A SCAM AT 1ST BUT MAN THESE GUYS ARE GOOD AT CONVINCING PPL piercingtruth ain't lying about that. IM TIRED OF PPL COMING UP TO ME JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A PIMPED OUT RIDE. WHAT THEY THINK I B SHITTING $ OR WHAT? Y WOULD A GUY LIKE ME GO 2 WALMART IN THE 1ST PLACE? I GUESS U R RIGHT, IM A DUMBASS!! BEWARE! HEY piercingtruth thanks forUPLOADING THIS VID. IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY 1 THAT WAS RIPPED OFF NASTY LIKE THAT & CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO BE THE LAST 1
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME EARLIER TODAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT RIPPED OFF! IT WAS TWO GUYS AT WAL MART (PARKING LOT) WENT UP TO ME AND SHOWED ME THIS "HIGH END" HOME THEATER SYSTEM. THE BOX READ MSRP $1999, DiVinci HOME THEATER SYSTEM. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT BRAND BUT IT SURE DID SOUND LIKE IT WAS A FANCY AND EXPENSIVE BRAND. I WAS TOLD THE SAME STORY ABOUT THE OVERSTOCK SHIT & THEIR BOSS BLAH BLAH BLAH
I do feel for you, but I feel this is justice too... Anyone that buy's hooky gear deserves to be ripped off...... Learn a lesson here, don't get caught out like this guy.... Hooky gear leaves a trail of tears behind it.
Price is never printed on the box, only in comunist countries some articles have prices printed on the box, you know that every store has another price :)
i used to do this for a living im so sorry to hear that you are stupid

I just bought a "Paramax IM3 Home theatre system". I should have known it was too good to be true. I payed $200 for it and it was supposedly worth over $4,000. At least mine works and the sounds quality is ok I suppose.

These ripoff speakers would be awesome for a DIY guy. I'd remove the elements from the housings and make my own. A little project that I can claim I did all by myself. That is unless the actual speaker elements are poor quality. In that case no-one can save them.
But they go as low as 150 dollars... Thats really not much money no matter how poor quality they are. Do they make any profit? How much do they pay for them?
latuman 1 year ago
@latuman depends on the model and if they are working with an office or independent, if the guys who sold this to him were with an office and they probably were their pay-in was about $200 which means they made $50 each minus gas money and shit. The guy who made this video is obviously an idiot, in fact anyone who calls this a "scam" is an idiot. You think anything you buy at Best Buy costs the same as the MSRP? Nike charges $100 for sneakers that cost $5 to make... it's called capitalism.

You got slammed in our words, don't blame the speaker guys for your greed. You are acting on a impulse and you learned not to trust any deal to good to be true. probably less you paid than for a anti-scam class seminar(if such thing exists)sorry my friend but that is one valuable lesson for you. Hopefully you will be prepared when you buy a house to not be rushed into a decision. to make you feel better I took people for $2000 for 6 sets of towers, $900 DAV3 and SL900 when I was doing this :-)

1) I've never heard of any of those brand names so why would you think you are buying quality?
2) Just because the system has a sub-woofer it's not high end.
3) "I gotta sell it or my boss will keep it. He won't even know it's missing" Gee, nothing suspicious here. A truck full of stock goes missing. Nobody's going to question that, right?

In your list of "Fake Brand Names" is DiVinci. DiVinci is not a fake brand name at all. There are, however people driving around scamming people with merchandise that is NOT DiVinci in boxes that are LABELLED DiVinci.
While DiVinci is not high end, they are relatively good, but not worth 2999.99.
There is a difference between a scam company, and people that use a real company's name in a scam.
