PARAMAX SCAMMERS IN SAN DIEGO WHITE VAN SCAMMERS

THESE SCAMMERS WERE FOUND IN SAN DIEGO,


The typical white van speaker scam involves one or two or three individuals, who are usually casually dressed or wearing uniforms. They drive an SUV,Mini van or a commercial vehicle (usually a white commercial van, which is the cheapest to rent) that often displays a company logo. To find suitable targets, the van operators set up their con in moderately trafficked areas—parking lots, gas stations, colleges, large apartment complexes—or even watch heavy traffic for people driving expensive cars and wave them down. The marks are usually affluent young men, college students, or others thought to have large amounts of disposable income.

The operators claim that they work for an audio retailer or audio installer, and that, through some sort of corporate error (warehouse operator mistake, bookkeeping mistakes, computer glitches, etc.) or due to the client changing the order after supplies were purchased, they have extra speakers. Sometimes, it is implied that the merchandise may be stolen. For varying reasons they need to dispose of the speakers quickly and are willing to get rid of them at "well below retail" prices. The con artists will repeatedly state the speaker "value" as anywhere between $1800 and $3000, prices often purportedly verified by showing a brochure or a magazine advertisement. They will usually also have an official looking website verifying their claims.

If the mark declines the offer, the scammer uses various high-pressure negotiation sales tactics. Among these techniques are producing glossy material that details the quality and high retail value of the speakers, and bombarding the potential customer with technical jargon, whether correctly or incorrectly used. If still unable to convince the mark that he is turning down an incredible offer, speakermen will almost always significantly lower the price immediately. Some con artists will even suggest that, since the customer got such a great deal, he should pay a little extra as beer money for his supposed benefactor.

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.

Thanks for posting this scammer. Maybe the cops won't do anything but atleast maybe this will keep people from being ripped off.

I'm sure there was nothing in those boxes except bricks to give them weight.
