  • This a take of my personal experience with these so called "white van scammers", I felt obligated to do my part to spread awareness about this scheme. This scam blows my mind because its been around for decades yet not too many people know about it, thus this scam claims countless victims a year. The best defense against scams like this is the awareness and knowledge that they exist. Fair warning none of the clips featured in this video of the scams actually taking place are my own, and have included links to the full videos down below. Enjoy!

      One time I bought a bunch of mushrooms from the back of a van on Walmart parking lot. It was these country folk with a combined 5 teeth between the 4 of them. They were morels and they were spectacular! I always looked for them, but haven't seen them since.

      Garret Claridge goes into quite a lot of detail with the cement and exactly what the speakers are capable of (which isn't a lot) and ends up blowing them out. I'll provide the link just in case anyone wants to check out his vid 👇

      Ya, I remember the big-a*s home speakers( the "we ordered six, but they gave us six pairs") , lol! .
      The quality is hit and miss as far as the products go.
      My cousin was scammed with the speakers (back in the day) and he was happy with them as long as he didn't ride them heard.
      My brother in law was also scammed with with the speakers, but everything on his speaker box was just hot glued together, and they even glued scrap metal inside the box to give it more substance, lol.
      A different brother in law was scammed with a crappy projector, besides the horrible resolution, when the bulb went out, he never found a replacement.
      so you never know just how bad you're gonna get scammed.

    Sorry you fell for that old scam... back in the days, could be a set of hi-end speakers that fell off the truck... too lazy to bring back to shop... boxes with bricks (LOL). Always happens in a busy parking lot during lunch time or holiday shopping. If it's too good to be true, it's a scam or fake!

    I didn't celebrate Christmas. I don't have extra money to get people gifts or even a birthday card. Now, if they would have been selling notebook paper (the type you write on) for about ten cents per notebook I would have bought a few because I always can use paper products, especially spiral notebooks. 😂❤👍
    Some of us have zero disposable money and are happy if we can even buy a carton of eggs let alone some television set.
    Besides that, it is always better to deal directly with retail stores, not some shady operation out of a van. You get warranties from stores as well as a money back guarantee at most establishments.
    The old addage still holds true to this day. If it sounds too good to be true then it is without a doubt.

    Why would you buy something out of a truck you never saw before. I'd think stolen goods and keep walking.
    In 1990s, My friend owned a store and he thought he'd save some money, and make more money because he bought these deal goods. It turned out the digital camera was basically a shell that didn't work. Maybe they were defective or maybe they were fake.
    The truck guy had nerve to call you and ask for more money.
    I'm glad your item worked and it's nice your giving it away.

    The year was 1997, the place The Netherlands Two guy's in a white fan standing still on a emergency lane of a highway. We offer to help them getting on there way. Then the story starts about high-end speakers they only ordered 10 but they gave them 14. A nice brochure showed us very expansive speakers with the paramount logos on them. The brand? Omi-audio.
    The sorry as you told here is almost a word for word copy of what happened that evening. And because you are curious, yes my friend bought a pair.
    They sounded like a chicken coop with drivers in them.
