I am a older gentleman, this scam has been going on since the late 70's
-
So guys selling speakers out of the back of a white van are scammers? Man, I'm sure glad I bought my speakers from a dude in a blue van.
-
Did I just time travel back 25 years? Surely this cannot be a thing anymore 😂
-
The line they used on me was, "Our distributor was supposed to give us five speakers and they gave five PAIR!!" That was in 1988.
-
the white van speaker scams were fairly common in my area 30 years ago.
-
Anyone selling brand new electronics out the back of a truck in boxes is a scam.
-
I robbed these guys a few years back and all I got out of it was a bunch of junk speakers. Lesson learned!

"Nothing good happens out of the back of a van in a parking lot" 😂

They tried to scam me once back in 1990 or 1991 when I lived in Orange California. Being an Audio/Video electronic technician, I led them on for about 30 minutes, just wasting their time. In the end they would not take my deal of $50 (what I thought was a fair deal) for their $1500 speakers. I hope I kept someone from getting scammed during that time.

If someone had a white van in a parking lot and spoke to me, i would think they were trying to traffic me and get the heck out of there fast.

I remember these van speaker guys trying to get me to buy a speaker when I was walking through a parking lot over 30 years ago. I figured it was a scam and said "no thanks." Then around 10 years ago a van pulled up to my house when I was outside and this guy tried to sell me an enormous quantity of meat...lol. I told him I was a vegetarian. Now I've been getting these mobile dent guys circling my car like vultures as soon as I pull into a parking lot. Ugh.

Who is buying speakers from a van anymore? Lol😂
-
I remember this from back in the 80’s!🥤🤣🍿
-
Ahh. The days when you could look your scammers in the eyes.
-
That Danon or Morentz speakers work great with Sorny or Panaphonics TVs, but are not compatible with Magnetbox.
-
The look in that guy's eyes were beyond sketch
-
I remember this happening to me one day getting fuel...Dude pulls up with a van full of speakers, runs through his pitch all while I'm just laughing at him. He was mad at me for laughing....I laughed even harder when he said that. Told him that for a scam artist he had some thin skin. LOL

Wow I remember the white van speakers back in the 80's.
-
This goes way back, back to the late 1970s. Sometimes they'd imply the speakers were stolen.

I knew a few people 25 years ago that made really good money with this in the Chicagoland area. They tried to recruit me but I couldn't do that to people. I'll take a clear conscience over a big paycheck any day of the week.
