LOL! We need a bIg RiG photoshopped in the background that says auDiopile spekerz stor...something like that

It's amazing the lengths some of these scammers will go to: setting up an "official" looking website ect. As mentioned, you can't get any info on their "dealer" network or contact them. These kind of guys are trolling around parking lots all over N. America, can't the owners of the mall parking lots ect where these clowns frequent, nail these guys for trespassing, if nothing else?

BTW....a 1 yr warranty?

I'm surprised the web site didn't try to install a trojan while people were visiting!

Installing a Trojan is pretty difficult if what the person sees doesn't excite them.

Check out the "awards" on this page: http://paramaxaudio.com/loudspeakersLM48W.html

You can't read any of them and they don't click anywhere for reference.

Back when I was in college a white van tried to sell me speakers. I had never heard of the scam before. The story they told me is that they're on their way to do an install, and the person ordered a pair of speakers, but they got two pair because of a mix up. He said he wanted to get rid of them before he went back to his boss. Showed me a shiny spec sheet making the speakers look great. Said they were normally $1200, but he'd let me have them for $600. I said, "I'll give you $50." He replied that he couldn't let them go for less than $500. I told him, "you've basically stolen these speakers and anything I give you is profit." He then asked if I had any friends who might be interested in these amazing speakers.

Later, after finding out what the scam was really about, I'm glad I didn't give him the $50. They probably aren't even worth that much. I feel sorry for this kid who just got royally screwed.

He hasnt even hooked them up yet I would be curious if they even work or if they did how it sounded. I didnt even know he wanted a home theater I have some old stuff I dont even use but I am going to give them to him anyways.

Yeah this is an old scam. If Kid Rock is buying a HT for $1200 bucks then the music business must not be what it used to be.

How was it that a 23 year old kid happened to have $1200 bucks on him anyhow? When I was 23 I was lucky if I had $3 bucks in my wallet so I could add fries to my Big Mac order!

I've heard of these white van guys offering to follow you to an ATM so you can get the cash.

I actually had a guy try to pull this on me. it wasn't a white van it was a blue sedan. He showed me the speakers and told me that there was a delivery mix up and he got 2 extra pairs of speakers so he wanted to get rid of them before the boss got back =)... He told me they were worth $2500, but he would let them go for $500. I told him to wait in the parking lot while i go get the cash. i came home and googled them. I could get them on ebay for about $400. I went back to the parking lot just to tell him off. He got a bit angry. LMAO.
