@1959blantz actuall they can. just call police and say "there are illegal solicitors harassing customers in the parking lot" then u give them the plate numbers
I got scammed out of $400.00 dollars in houston Tx . at the Sellers Bro's Parking lot . Yeah they got me coming out of the Store they 're begging for my money show me a Sticker Price $3999.00 .
I was approach two days ago at the home depot parking lot on airport way by two guy in a ford suv with Idaho plate. Was wondering if it's the same two guy or suv that u experience? They almost got me to buy their system but a buddy of mine save my ass.
I was approach two days ago at the home depot parking lot on airport way by two guys in a ford suv with Idaho plates. Was wondering if it the same suv that approach u?
Yea, thought i would be able to resell it. Got approached out here in Portland Oregon by 2 guys in a suv & i ended up grabbing it for 160$ been sitting in my basement still in the box for bout 4 months now and was waiting for Christmas to sell it on Ebay thinking I could make profit but now feel bad if i were to do that after finding out bout this :(.
I must have gotten lucky. Cause I got one last year and this thing is awesome. Sound quality is bad ass no matter how loud I turn it up it's clear. Has a 7-1 surround that can be a 2-1 or a 5-1. MP3, computer and CD hook up with a FM radio built in. I have no complaints.
nothing like peeling off stickers n makin that CA$H... i cant believe you guys bought this shit.... we even take it out for you and you STILL believe us! but hey, this is exactly how "they" sell EVERY product you buy....we're just more aggressive :)
haha i got a dude to go down to 200 at a truckstop....i work there...soooo he put it in my car i drove off he followed and i stopped got out with a wrench and chucked it at his window
are canadians the only people that will go out and find these fuckers and proceed to beat them to a bloody pulp? i just hear a bunch of whiny faggots in the states.. many of my friends didnt come back from canada..
Lost $400 dollars to them. Came home then promptly took the speakers over to goodwill. Not even interested in testing them or trying to sell them. It's just money... a lot of freaking money.
Ive been hit up by guys like these 3 times on Haster and Chapman in Garden Grove. They always try to throw these systems down my throat and always end up telling them about my 1000w ONKYO system with dual subwoofer setup lol.
why did u give away that you were going to record their license plates???? they'll obviously switch up their cars after that! come on man, if you had kept quiet until they left, the police couldve at least taken those license plate numbers and done something productive with them.....now theyre useless
Fke rs got my friend at a gas station for a 100!! He thinks he can sell it on ebay for $1500. I feel so bad. Theres been many a time that people tried selling me shit like this. But i walked away.
Yep, just bought a P-7 at a walmart parking lot the guy said he wanted 300 for it and I wasnt sure so I said ill give you 150 for it and he handed it to me . Then looked it up online on my computer since my 3G wasnt working at the time and saw that it was a scam. Im hooking it up now and the speakers do work. So im not sure what to do with it, it sounds alright they are good qaulity but dissapointed. Oh well I shoould've never bought it in a parking lot well I learned from my mistakes.
Now paramax is no icinema. He told me, he was late for work in O.C. he received as a gift and wud get in trouble if he didn't get rid off it. i only bought this bcuz my mom always wanted a surround sound and thought it was a good deal. he had just sold one to some guy for 500 dollars and i talked him down to 300. but it was the worst decision of my life.
Back in 1999 they got me on campus at SDSU got $60 bucksa out of me but I guess that equals about $140 today when u adjust for inflation. Speakers worked but crappy distortion and eventually they will pop bust of quit working.
same shit down here in Vancouver British Columbia, I picked up a "VisionMax" projector, a 72inch Projector Screen, and the Paramax p-511 sound system or some shit, all for $400 in the parking lot of a carwash. looked up on google and saw that the "total" for all this rip off shit is 10 grand. anyone think i got a good deal for 400 to all of that?
Just grabbed a p-7 for 100 buck ... knew it mighta been too good to be true , surprised they even worked hooked them to my 1000w sony amp n surprisingly theyre not bad loll the subwoofer sucked ass but sat speakers go pretty loud loll not sure if im gald or what loll
Well these guys are in NJ. They got me at Cosco parking lot. Offered to sell me a paramax p7 at 800$. The story was to good to be true. I broke him down to 450$. So i went inside the atm to get him the money. Came back out he loaded it into my truck. But hey he was so fast that i did not give him the money and he drove off, and now i have this here sitting at home with no clue how to set this shit up.
They are in Miami two dudes in Miami Lakes driving a black GMC Yukon Tag # 693XRD they offered me two of this system for $300 each I said I'm not interested and they Lowered the price to $100 for both systems. Finally I got the two stupid unusable systems for $75.
its a scam dude its a scam! hahaha fuckin tard. its idiots like you guys that make selling speakers so much fun. and gettin a license plate wont do shit for you. the best thatll happen is a soliciting fine (which considering how much money we rape from you people) isnt a problem for a speakerman to pay. how bout you dumbasses quit being greedy and stop buying shit outta a van! STFO!!! BITCHES!!!
they're in escondido, CA too. 3 guys in a light blue ford minivan. sold me a piece of shit system for $140 in a wal-mart parking lot. if i come across these guys again it'll be with the aluminum baseball bat i keep in the trunk of my car
Same in Arizona. Claimed they had a business in Scottsdale and were in the west valley saying they didn't know anyone on this side of town to give them too.. 300 bucks out for me.
here in chicago the guy drives a chrysler pt cruiser about 2008, gray color, the guy is about 6'1", caucasian (probably european), blue eyes, he claims to be from NY, and not know chicago.
same shit here in chicago, but they only got 110 bucks from me!!! ha-ha, I just hope that it works, by the way the guy seemed to be high as hell (math probably),
same truck same white guy and he had a mex. friend with him sold me the paramax im3 yesterday. although i don't support their tactics on ebay this system used is 150 new is 400 and i got it from them brand new for 300. compared to my $2000 dollar JL audio car system i'd say it wasn't a bad prise, although they wanted alot more for it.
I just got hit today.... They got 300 from me... To hell with this scammers, I thought it was a good buy since my daughter is turning 3 years old this weekend and I just wanna throw a good party for her and her friends. Co you tuber beware I live in Nj and here's the number of the guy who scammed me 2013048536 and he said his name is mikey.... Let's unite and pest him with phone calls!!!
It does work , I hooked it up with my existing amplifier.... Quality of sound is something that u could expect from a 50 dollar cheap surround sound system though
Fuck!!!! I think I just got scammed.... Just bought 1 for 300.... Exactly the same story.... They are in Nj now. I'm gonna try it out now... Hopefully it will work
i paid 70 dollors for one guy was in a white expedition gave me the same bull shit story about his boss having ordered extra i only offered him 25 at first but when i told him i didnt want it he went down to 70 is that a good deal or rip off i really dont know
damn these guys got me fuck. i bought a paramax p-7 hd audio for 100 bucks in a walmart parking lot everything seemed legit. he said he got them from the company he worked at and he needed to get rid of them, he had two and i was tricked into buying one:( man i hope they get these guys. oh and they were driving a gray van.
Gave guy $200.00 for the P-7 model in a parking lot. Unfortunately it is the Paramax fake brand company that is committing the real act of the scamming that provides all the necessary professional presentation of packaging, stickers, Paramax logo factory tape, professional presentation of magazine catalogs of all models, zip tie factory band around box with imprint of company logo and warranty certification. Everything seems retail packed and “IT IS!”, this is the problem. Paramax needs to fall.
I ran into one of these guys yesterday. I asked him why he was driving a 1983 toyota camry i've worked for paramax. Cause the last dude that tried to sell me these speakers (last summer) was driving a brand new ford expeition. Seems like the company wasn't doing too well. So then I got technical and asked him what the RMS and max wattage output was. Then I asked him what inpendence the speakers had. He was stumped. Just told him to researh your own product before you try to rip someone off.
i would love to run into these guys. i wouldnt get mad at them or anything, i would trip them up with actual technical questions about them. like whats the cross over freq. dome or horn tweeters, whats the freq response, efficiency, and nominal impedance ETC.
@reptile347 Bose?.......Dude you really ARE a fuckin moron, you get scammed on some $100 speakers for $250 after they probably told you they were worth a couple thousand . they you mention Bose like they're some kind of bench mark for high end speakers? LMAO i got a bridge to sell you buddy.....
i bought those speakers from that same guy on june 25th, 2009....the next day i hooked them up to listen to my favorite michael jackson album.....8 minutes later he died....so dont buy them, or do, i dont care
My friend definitely just came home with these speakers telling me that she had gotten them from someone off the highway... Although these speakers aren't worth 1800 she did get them for an exchange of an older iPod. They actually lost because these speakers rock. A pain to set up but worth the time. Con artists-0 Us-1!!
Reality check: This is the year 2010 and some of you actually want to buy big, clunky speakers that look like they are from a 1970's stereo? Speaker technology now has made it so you can get BIG sound from small speakers. You are fool for falling in love with a big wooden speaker cabinet. It is furniture, that's all. Also: who the f.u.c.k. buys a pair of speakers without listening to them first?! PT Barnum said it best: There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him.
That guy could have jumped out of his black truck & kicked your ass or shot you. Did you even consider that? Think about it: some crack head, white trash guy with a new truck that is a scammer/crook often carries a gun to keep business deals flowing... Also: it's called The Internet, not "the web" what a tool!
p.s. That scammer can actually sue to for putting his face on YouTube without a written release, and putting his license plate on YouTube is illegal.
@03056932 I don't call it "doing good" when someone is a total amateur at being a detective. Sound like he didn't think his "script" through very well before going out to meet the guy. Rehearse man! Why are any of you people trying to buy these big ass speakers anyway? Since about 1980 they've had speakers with the same big sound that are very small. Oh, it's a size issue... maybe trying to over-compensate for something else? HAHAHA!!! Get over it and by a tiny pair of Bose speakers!
I got scammed to. But I took guys pics, I reported it to the police. They r saying he sold me speakers and I wanted speakers. Please guys tell me what should I tell them? I paid $400!! They can be behind the Barz. But how?????
they now have projectors. visionmax priced realy high and tipicly comes with a screen, they even have a stupid magazine with both visionmax projectors and paramax sound systems.
yo DUCK! u got really lucky that dude didnt fuck u up. do not try that again. its definitely not a good idea. ur still a duck for waisting ur time though. slam ya later stfo!
I recently moved to San Antonio, Tx and this just happened to me yesterday. It was two guys in a Jeep Commander. The first guy told me the whole bs story and said he'd let me have it for $400. I told him I don't have that kind of money right now, being that I just moved here and didn't have a job. I was walking back to my car when the 2nd guy came out of the SUV and told me he would take pretty much anything for it. Got suckered into buy the Paramax P-6 for $150. The 1st guy didn't seem so happy
say i have no money will you meet me at my bank later in the day as i have some errands to run... dont show up and tell them to meet you at a bank that is far away.
wow dude, fuckn pissed. 2 dudes in a dark grey van approached me and my little bro in a shopping center in Dublin, California. They pretty much did evrything tht is explained online about the scammers. that being the sob story, the catalogue, the low price. 1st price was 500 bucks but all we had wuz 200. he said ok and it seemed like a good deal, so i bought it. now i'm stuck with sum piece of shit sound system tht i dont even wanna bother putting together. these assholes are fucking conmen
@Olliedrizzle: For $200, how does it sound?? It's obviously a scam but for $200, is there any value in what you bought? Or does it just sound terrible?
@tanbrolo it didnt work at all. there was no power cord and there was one cable to five speakers. when i took it apart to look at what what inside, i saw that there was a piece of marble to make it weigh like a normal speaker. on top of tht, the wiring was all wrong. there was no way to make it work
I was just stopped by a guy in West Chandler, AZ. at a truck stop. It went exactly as you said even down to buying me a beer. 4 units in the back of a blue Chevy SUV. Too funny. I did not take the "deal".
I live in Waco, TX and this just happened to me an hour ago. My dumbass bought the Paramax P-6 for $250.00. I then looked online and realized I had been ripped off. I figured oh well, so I got home and looked to see if I could hook it up anyway and all there is is speaker wire and the 5 speakers and sub. There is nothing powering the sub or anything. I fell like an idiot! Guess that's what I get for trusting people. They were in a new tan Tahoe.
i bought an IM4 that plays my ipod, computer and my HDTV and to tell you the truth im pleased... My friends says it sounds effin loud and it sounds like a theater. I bought it for $100.... retail on the box was like 4500 lol...
The guy selling the speakers did nothing illegal, fuck I can sell my 15,000$ bike for $100,000 it doesn't mean its worth it, but its up to the buyer and the seller to agree on the price. If you accept the price the seller has not done anything illegal.
@HA3AP87 It would be illegal for you to tell the person buying it that you bought it for 100K and are selling it for 50K when you paid half that. They're also giving people half empty boxes, so they're definitely breaking the law.
@Crowhopz Yep, you got scammed...those speakers have about $10 worth of components in them. Sorry! Always buy from a store. Paramax is supposed to sound like real speakers, like Paradigm who actually make proper speakers.
@dobyblue how much do you think the paradigm speakers are worth if you just count "components" -- i did buy these - took them home, hooked em up, and have working speakers - 5.1 as advertised - of course i paid less than $200 but i don't feel like i got ripped off at all - frankly, i was more concerned with the items being hot than poor quality
they got. i tried to sell and i was told it was a scam. so now im just gonna shoot it to shit with my 12gauge and my 30-06. and as for people who say its just "business", you faggots plain piss me off. I make my money the old fashoned way... a normal job. and just so yall scammers know if you are doing this in the katy/houston area, i WILL pull out my gun and shoot your merchandise to shit. go ahead call the cops. tell them i shoot your illegal merchandise. motherfucking faggots
@zaboomafoo357 I don't think scammers are automatically homosexual, that's a bit harsh of you...but I do hope you videotape it if you blow holes in these crappy scam speakers, that would be awesome to watch. These scammers get everything they deserve.
this dudes got no hustle..the buyer or the salesmen...get retrained!!! and to the buyer..get a life...just tell them "no" next time...go home to your fucked up married life..with a wife who wont let u do shit..pussy whooped buyer's wife told him "no" to the purchase of stolen or unmarked merchandise from a shipping error....u the SCAMMER
@FodeE77 Why just tell them no? It's much more fun when you know your audio to fuck with these assholes. The White Van Scam involves ripping people off knowingly...so I am happy to fuck with them every chance I get. I will gladly waste 20 minutes of a scammers time and then my big offer....$5!! Haha, stupid scammers.
Lol this choopa1 motherfucker is in arlington tx. Many people have fallen for his gay ass.
My homeboy knows where he lives. Through reverse searching his license plates. Ill feel sorry for him when his corvette is missing or has broken windows one day. Lmao
The people who buy it off me and think they're gonna go resell it are the ones that get pissed. That's why if you notice when us speaker guys do are show we say "you'll keep it for you right, like your not gonna go fuckin resell it on ebay." I bought a set of EDS Theater Towers when I was 18. That was 5 years ago before i even had this job. I paid 280 and I went out and re sold em out of my Taurus the same way I bought em for 500.
I used to be a welder but ay you do what you gotta do I gotta kid to feed bro. It's nothin personal just business. you dont think bose has a huge fuckin markup. they're built in china just like Paramax or Davinci. Some people I pitch and ask em if they want a home theater and they immediately tell me they already got the best. I say ow yeah whats that? They say fuckin Paramax dude some guy got overloaded and I reaped the benefits.
Camera guys a worthless fag! I'm from the D and I make thousnads of dollars a week from yuppies like you. I get pulled over damn near every day and guess what theres nothing illegal about it. STFO bitch! Buy something out of a van for cheap thinkin you ripped us off till you get home and look it up and find out they aint worth shit go fuck yourself loser
It's illegal because it violates federal ICC statues and numerous state and federal tax laws. Most cops are just to stupid to know what's going on. In CA, a few guys went to Jail. They tried selling it to a guy outside a gym who happened to be a white collar crimes prosecutor. Most who get caught get criminal charges, fined, and prohibition or something. I'd watch your back.
camera man is a loser. this is a free country and free commerce. we all have the right to make money. selling speakers is legal. and people want to act like heroes with cameras trying to change the world.the camera man must of bought a set for alot' but itss ok. its a hustle.
LMAO!!! Dude, getting his plate number doesnt do shit cause what he does is totally legit its the same as sony selling u something worth 50$ which is the cost to make them and they sell you there stuff for alot more than this guy would and the funny shit is that they sound just as good! you gotta give these salesman credit cause there true hustlers making more money than any of u imagine in a small period of time. anyone who makes a movie like this is just a stupid sheep gettin mad at the wolf
Far from the truth. Sony spends money designing and marketing the product. That goes into the cost of what you buy. As well as making a profit for the company and share holders. TRUE HUSTER? More like lazy slobs. Craigslist flags these ebay banned them and the word is spreading on the street on how they are trash. I know this because I have a friend that makes over 100,000 a year selling them. Times are tough though this won't last forever.
@peteyrichter Not to mention seller intentionally misled him to believe he was purchasing high quality goods from a reputed manufacturer. The magazine they use is made for this set up.
The fact that people are still getting taken by the "white van" scam just goes to show you the ridiculous greed of people. This scam is literally decades old.
And to the guy who said "they said they are worth $3200" LOL, you really believed that? They are worth MAYBE $50, and thats tops. They are absolute shit speakers, no crossovers, particle board enclosures, etc. manufactured specifically to scam greedy idiots who don't know any better. Sorry to be harsh, but the truth hurts sometimes.
I got it yesterday cuz I was smoking a cigarette while driving with my window down and this kinda cute guy was like HEY YOU WANT SOME SPEAKERS? So I was like uhh...and we pulled into an empty parking lot and I got mine for $200. I gave them to my friend as an xmas gift so I hope they atleast WORK. I shoulda got their license plate number to report it to the police.
Same story...I live in Montreal, Canada, two guys sold me Paramx P6 they asked 400 CAD for item, I told them that I will buy two for 250$CAD he said no, I left...a minute later his friend accepted, I paid $250 for Parama P6, am I get scammed here? please let me know, Thx
Hey! guess Paramax is also doing t.v.s? I picked one up from the bestbuy parking lot.. its 50 inches comes in black and i got it for $250? it looks like a vizio but its rebaged i think. Very nice t.v. though. anyone out there have one? please let me know...i think theres some kind of blackmarket going on..
I got scammed a few days ago on my birthday. They were in a 2007-ish gold chrystler minivan in ann arbor michigan. I got it for 300 bucks. I found out later that they were a ripoff and after I hooked them up they are actually better than the system I had. lol. Mine sound amazing and very loud so im not very dissapointed but I still dont think its worth 300 bucks.
One of these guys came up to me at a gas station today over on Mira Mesa Blvd. He explained to me his deal about his "boss" accidentally ordered too much inventory and needs to sell a Paramax system. He was driving a piece of shit ford escort and he also some other electronics in the car.
He wanted $500 and then he went down to $300, I still said no thanks. I dont really get how its a scam? Is the stuff stolen or broken?
It's junk. Although there are stories of people getting actually decent speakers. Hell, i've heard that people get lcd tv's for cheap from them. Just be cautious, and use your negotiating skills to get the price as low as possible before you buy them.

STFO!!! BITCHES!!!

Gave guy $200.00 for the P-7 model in a parking lot. Unfortunately it is the Paramax fake brand company that is committing the real act of the scamming that provides all the necessary professional presentation of packaging, stickers, Paramax logo factory tape, professional presentation of magazine catalogs of all models, zip tie factory band around box with imprint of company logo and warranty certification. Everything seems retail packed and “IT IS!”, this is the problem. Paramax needs to fall.

I ran into one of these guys yesterday. I asked him why he was driving a 1983 toyota camry i've worked for paramax. Cause the last dude that tried to sell me these speakers (last summer) was driving a brand new ford expeition. Seems like the company wasn't doing too well. So then I got technical and asked him what the RMS and max wattage output was. Then I asked him what inpendence the speakers had. He was stumped. Just told him to researh your own product before you try to rip someone off.

My friend definitely just came home with these speakers telling me that she had gotten them from someone off the highway... Although these speakers aren't worth 1800 she did get them for an exchange of an older iPod. They actually lost because these speakers rock. A pain to set up but worth the time. Con artists-0 Us-1!!
CupcakeAndPythagoras 1 year ago
Reality check: This is the year 2010 and some of you actually want to buy big, clunky speakers that look like they are from a 1970's stereo? Speaker technology now has made it so you can get BIG sound from small speakers. You are fool for falling in love with a big wooden speaker cabinet. It is furniture, that's all. Also: who the f.u.c.k. buys a pair of speakers without listening to them first?! PT Barnum said it best: There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him.

@HA3AP87 It would be illegal for you to tell the person buying it that you bought it for 100K and are selling it for 50K when you paid half that. They're also giving people half empty boxes, so they're definitely breaking the law.

It's illegal because it violates federal ICC statues and numerous state and federal tax laws. Most cops are just to stupid to know what's going on. In CA, a few guys went to Jail.
