Chuck Jones Unregistered guest | Atlanta, GA April 14, 2005 N. Druid Hills Village Shopping Center. Out $150. I think it just primarily sucks to know I got played, but then again I was asking for it because anybox that has a big star with the word "NEW!" inside of it is not necessarily high end goods. The speakers are Digital Research DA 5-1 Pro Series III. Have any of you actually tried these yet? |
|
ATL Unregistered guest | Atlanta, GA April 15, 2005 Midtown Area Out $300. I just actually checked this site after I bought it to look up the value of it. DAMN!!! I haven't actually opened the box yet to check out the real value. This site now has me too pissed to open it. |

SincerelyCanada Unregistered guest | Hey, I am not sure if I just got scammed by these speaker guys you all are talking about because I can even figure out how to plug these things in? Can anyone help cause the people didn't even have the common courtesy to provide instructions....anyone please? Give me a chance to assess whatever quality they are (I have DR-1610 speakers) |
|
This is dumb Unregistered guest | I didn't get scammed per se. These speakers are definately not what they say they are. I only paid $150 for a 2x10" 1000watt sub woofer and enclosure. The guy was in his midtwenties and drove a white chevy truck. He had a phone number ... 727-481-7560. Claimed that he had a plasma TV with him as well. I don't think this is the same scam since the 727 area code is a local number. This took place outside a gas station in Tarpon Springs. The guy claimed his name was Howard. |
|
Good news Unregistered guest | I just saw on the news that two men were arrested in Tampa, Florida after these guys tried to swindle a smart cop who called his buddy at the station. The cop stalled them for a few minutes until a patrol car pulled up and claimed that it was illegal to sell wares on the property of an established business without written consent (which it is.) Cop checked both their IDs, which were fakes and it just so happens that having an illegal ID is a felony and they were arrested but the patrolman and the off-duty cop =-p A detective came on and said that they estimate many more cons are out there (in Tampa) and the detective opened an official investigation on the scam. |

IT WILL NOT END Unregistered guest | I dont see why u people want to go out and "kill" these people. they are just doing their job..which is selling you decent quality speakers at a fair price (if your smart enough).. .ive bought speakers that were 300 a piece that didnt sound as good as these. anyway this compnay will grow anyway u look at it cause it is "legit" items that are NOT stolen and the fact that all of you want to come on here and give them a bad name is absolute Bull.. |

renhoack31 Unregistered guest | i dont know i have a set of them the da-v ones they sound ok but i use them with my polk towers one set on a one on b and they sound great they pick up more highs my polks have more bass but i paid 110 at a pawn shop so as far as im concerned they are just fine i only wanted them for the rears but hookrd the whol thing up to see how they sound im not sure why everyone is griping about them i know home stuff and they are just fine i dint think they would sound as good as they do |

OH SO HOT! Unregistered guest | This is hilarious. My friend got SCAMMED last night in Menominee, WI. Green Chevrolet Taho with Alaskan plates. Same the same as everyone else. I wasn't gonna buy that sh**, but my friend did, actually he bought 2 and borrowed 200 bucks from me, ha, I'll be taking that 200 bucks back for sure. 540 dollars down, but at least my friend got his phone number, which is temporarily out of service because the scammer didn't pay his bill...hahahahaha... out of service my a**....I asked to see a business card, but to no avail...that was the deciding factor for me, and that I don't buy off-brand speakers off the streets of Menominee. These guys drive a ways I'm guessing so that police can't trace them as easily, tried to get the license plate, but was too busy lending my friend 200 bucks. I'm glad I didn't pay for this shhhh----*** |

Anonymous | Hey everyone I recently got duped on ebay into buying a speaker system by Theater Innovations (another scam, pretty sure they're related), the TI-440M, from someone who may have been a victim and was trying to just get rid of it. Although the price offered was low and I bought it for just $110 including s/h, the desc. still had the bullshit MSRP of $3000. I hooked up the speakers, they're not too bad, not that great, if I find a better deal for better speakers I will probably buy them and try to sell the TI-440M on ebay BUT with an honest description just to try to salvage some money. I have no idea what they're really worth, I'm guessing around $50 or so, I could be wrong. Anyways, just wanted to share the thought that you could always try to sell them on ebay, but please do it in an honest manner or else you're no better than the scum selling them out of vans. |

Anonymous | damn! damn! damn! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! i bought these digital research 5.1 "platnum series" speakers like 3 days ago and i just found out today. i was actually tryina sell them to my homeboy at work for 400 dollars then he walks back to me with a smurk on his face and hands me a print out of these idots confessions. damn i feel like a clown, but hey i still havent tore the plastic off these shitty speakers so i'm taking them to the pond shop this weekend. i paid 200 dollars for them, same story, i'm in fort lauderdale, 2 fat italians got me... i'm pretty sure i can get at least 250 for them at the pond shop, if i cant i might have to borrow my homeboys expedition, but if i ever see them again its over for them believe that, |

Anonymous | I am so pissed I just got scammed outside of a Best Buy in Panama City, Fl. I hope they get these fu**ers. Same story guy pulls up as I am walking out says you want some speakers. I say no...I should have left it at that but I talked to him told me the same story about excess inventory and told me how he didnt want his boss to have1 them cause he would just keep them...Wanted me to go to the ATM I said no...I gave him all the cash I had in my wallet $123 said you are getting such a good deal if you ever see me out buy me a beer...If I ever see that guy out I will put my foot up his as* and give him a whole lot more than a beer. He was a chunky white guy with earnings a thin beard with no mustache driving a goldish mini van. I hope they get these rim job masters and they better hope they don't cross my path. |

Anonymous | scammed in chicago today from 2 guys in a navy van. me and a buddy paid 150 each for them. it sounds like the same guys. they wanted me to buy them a beer since they were giving me such a good deal. i even got an invoice slip from the guys. First Class Connections, Inc Addison, IL It dont think the place even exists anymore. The people who posted above are right. I deserved being scammed for how much of an idiot i am. |

sucker Unregistered guest | Yeah guys, I got taken... I bought these speakers just last weekend!!... April 30*... I was coming out of a best buy empty handed and alone... I was driving away, and these 2 guys in a grey van flag me down!...yelling at me, telling me if i want a good deal on a home theater, and since i'm moving out, i thought it was a great deal... and well to make a long story short, I fell for it, they wanted something like 600 hundred for it, but i told them all i can give them is 300 bucks because thats all i can take out of the atm... (thank god you cant take more than 300).. and well i'm out 300 bucks on the Digital Research 5.1 2000 bullshit... |

speakersister Unregistered guest | As a relative of two speakermen, I just thought you guys would get some comfort in knowing that speakermen love these websites. They get on here and crack up. There are speakermen out there who have been doing this for over ten years now...using the same pitch! There will always be people out there who are facinated by "great deals." These guys aren't going anywhere. My brothers make a very good living doing this, and they have fun doing it. The truth is, it's not that the speakers are bad, it's that they get them for so cheap wholesale. They are making good money off of you even if you pay $100. Just relax! All of you guys were down with the scam before you saw this site. These guys do get up everyday and work, its like any other sales job, just on the street. Give them a break. You kind of have to anyway because they are doing absolutely NOTHING illegal. If they got arrested, they'd have to arrest every legitimate salesman too. They are all buying wholesale and selling at very high mark ups. That is the American way. You think you got scammed? Just take a look at all the stuff in your house, and think about how much you paid for it, and how much it cost to make. All of us get scammed everyday. Sites like this are the scam. All of you are falling for it. You just beleive that the speakers suck because you're reading it. Plug them in and you'll see, they're not bad. All I know is my brothers and their speakerman friends are all living pretty good lives off of all of you innocent victims agreeing to steal from the companies that they claim to work for. Who's the theif now?? |

Anonymous | No SHI.........!!!! LOL, LOL, Just P/U a pair of Digital Reasearch DR-2810 Tower speakers for $145.00 may be a scam or not, but they don't sound to bad, abit boomy (heavy on the bass) but OK for $145.00 including tax(wink wink/nugh nugh, say no more.) I don't think I could have bought more speaker for the money, but wait until the next guy, I'm going to try $50.00 LOL! That would be a deal. |

speakers_work Unregistered guest | Speakers work very well. Just get a good amplifier or reciever, understand the schematics for the speakers and you are good to go. By the way, i am looking for those tower speakers, any body wants to give em away for a reasonable price. Holla at me. genuine_brotha@hotmail.com thank you |

New member Username: AndrogenPost Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | i picked up a set of these and hooked them up to a technics surround amp. i gotta tell ya, they sound pretty decent. and as far as a "scam" is concerned, i agree with speakersister above. we all pay more than what something costs. how much more depends on a lot of things. but for these speakers, $250 is a fair deal. and NO, i do not drive around in a white van.... |
|
Anonymous | I just found these guys here in Salt Lake City UT today, about 20 minutes ago walking out of a 7-11. They gave the whole pitch about the warehouse giving them too many speakers and having to unload 2 before they got to the customers install. I was taken by these guys a few years ago and recognized the whole thing immediately. I got the licence plate #(335 VKT) Utah plates on about a 1998 Green Ford Explorer. I called the police who put out an APB immediately. I hope this bunch of a$$ holes gets what they deserve. |

Unregistered guest | That is exactly where I was... "...Atlanta, GA April 14, 2005 N. Druid Hills Village Shopping Center..." I got hit by the Arbys on North Druid Hills Rd. I bet it is the same guys. I could describe the features. Both guys were big, but not tall, not really fat. White, about 30-35. I noticed he had some Acne Scars on his face. The van I think was blue, pretty big SUV. I thought the company was "Sound Vision?. I left my email below. |
|
AGuyAtlanta Unregistered guest | One more comment, I will have to say that is a pretty elaborate scheme. They had the van, and I pretty sure it had a logo on it. The had more speakers in the car, so you are thinking that maybe they are legit. The two things that made me hesitate, and made me knew it was a scam(even though, I gave the money). They wouldn't take No for answer. Any salesman will enventually "Give up". These guys would not give up at all. I kind of saw a glimmer of "This might get dangerous, so I kind of went along". The second thing, the price. $2000 speakers don't just disappear. There are probably all kinds of forms and things that have to be signed for a purchase that big. A company doesn't just lose thousand dollar items. Plus, don't most sound companys do credit checks and whatever. I gave up my money, but at least I knew it was a scam. I opened the box once they drove off, I was expecting wooden boards or something. Surprised there speakers inside, actually packaged and everything. Well, that is life, I guess. |
|
Unregistered guest | lol yesterday they offered me a deal in Illinois Rosement at Allstate Arena. I thought its a good deal, but didnt buy those. Then i wanted to check the company online and i found this... I feel good now. By the way the guys were in Pontiac Aztec SUV. So be carefull fellas. |

Unregistered guest | same thing happened to me today in vancouver canada. These guys pull up in a van and tell me "this may sound crazy but we have high end home theatre systems". so they ask me to pull over.and then they say we just sold a 2000$ system for $800 and keep saying they work for the sound stream company. and they just got too many of them. after a 30 mins of arguing over the price i bought two huge speaker and the DR-1000 home theater for $850 canadian. now i find out they were a scam i feel like killing myself. i got their license #. but that is pretty much fake. i still haven't installed them so do u guys know if they work and what kind of quality they have? |

Unregistered guest | Just got hit for 500 bucks for two towers and a woofer with surround speakers. I feel like a total dumb*ss. Didn't get the licence but it's May 11 and I got hit at Division and Halsted in Chicago. It was a curly haired red head, an asian chick and a short dork with a lip ring. They were driving a blue tahoe. Anybody has any info about them please email me. I filed a report but I'm sure that won't do any good. |

K Frank Unregistered guest | My boyfriend just got screwed in St-Thérese, Québec Canada! The same story keeps repeating itself: 400 bucks Canadian! Guys pull up beside you saying that they have to go deliver some sound systems and say that they have too many. They even show you some bull sh*t magazine to try to prove their credibility! Whatch out for these A holes! |

Unregistered guest | Its suprising that im the only one posting from Los Angeles so far. If I were a "speakerman" I think l.a. would be the city. 5/10 saw 2 guys in a minivan. They stopped me and told me that they were picking up an order for their boss and somehow recieved 2 extra surrondsound speakers and a pair of the tower speakers . I believed their story because they showed me an invoice that was very convincing so i called a coworker. He came to the van and bought their story too. He also told me about a plasma t.v. with the same story and when he took it back to his boss his boss took it for himself and told him if he ever said anything he would fire him. long story longer, my coworker bought 2 5.1 surrond sound speakers and a pair of the tower speakers for $600. we don't feel too ripped off because i know i can flip them. I need to if its worth keeping on of the surrond sound speaker set. hit me up eman2top@sbcglobal.net |

New member Username: Mules4youPost Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | They're is alot that will say how good a speaker will work... Alot of people dont know about it though.. I'm a student in High school but I know a decent amount. And well If you know enough about what your looking for you probably wont get scammed, If you ask me I think sony and haft the other speakers brands out there are sh!t. Looks arn't the key to a good sounding system. If you want something good, Look into 50's and 60's audio back then people wernt such big idiots and knew what worked good and what was better, for example Solid State Amplifiers suck fat a$$ (for you people who don't know Solid state is anything that uses a Transistor or anytype of Simiconducter, Valve State is when you use Electron Tubes,Vacuum Tubes, Electron Valve, Tubes, and all of the other names they have for them. |

jrb Unregistered guest | i just got a couple of da-2012 speakers, they got a 12' a 4' and a tweeter. same story but in frisco texas(near dallas) same story with the 2 extra given to them... i got them down from 500 for both to 160 for both... i'm really not mad except for the fact that i got scammed, i think the speakers are loud as hell and they sound pretty damn good for 80 bucks a piece. i really don't think you can get speakers that are comperable to these for that cheap. for the story that they gave me i was more worried that they might have been stolen. the funny thing is that i am only 16 and he told me that if we see each other around then to buy him a beer...that made me laugh. |

I Sell Speakers Unregistered guest | A corrupt and greedy speakerman, I was one of the best. Telling tall tales and hustling suckers seemed to be the perfect gig for a nut like me. On the streets of LA, sitting ducks are everywhere. In a frenzy of sweat and mojo, we'd swoop down, scramble their brains with fantastic stories, and relieve them of their hard-earned dollar. Only Jesus Christ could save a wretch like me. And He did. I could no longer do business in the way of the world, my sales method needed an absolute overhaul. Knowing this, I took a step in a different direction. Now, almost three years later, I am a new man, a new salesman and the ultimate speakerman! Staying true to myself is proving effective. In time, I hope to change the image of my practice and the vibe of the entire industry. With God's help, I will. Simon Burckhard, Speakerman since 2000!!! Idaho permit # 002853438-S MISSION STATEMENT: Burckhard's is a business committed to total honesty. The fraudulent and deceptive sales techniques employed by many industry salesmen are not tolerated here. We believe that these methods are shrewd and dishonest. Salesmen should channel creativity and excitement in meaningful, productive and honest ways. Many products sold on the street boast an MSRP value disproportionate to the actual quality of the product. Burckhard's believes that bolstering an enormous MSRP is unfair to the consumer. Straightforward, fair pricing is our alternative to MSRP hiking. We sell primarily on the street. These types of sales are generally energetic, resulting many times in an impulsive purchase. We do not, however, condone the use of high pressure, manipulation, and/or brute force. Our pricing is competitive. Low overhead expense allows us to compete with many of the larger retail outlets. We do, however, leave room to haggle and we encourage our customers to engage in the process of negotiation. Above all, we want satisfied customers. We remain as available as is possible and we challenge ourselves to find solutions to the problems that our customer's face. |

Unregistered guest | I have a question for all the complainers. DID THE GUYS HAVE A GUN TO YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU BOUGHT THESE SPEAKERS?? No. You are completely responsible for buying the speakers from guys selling them out of their trucks or whatever. I bought some myself. It seems that you all are upset because you thought you were getting a steal when you actually got what you paid for. By the way, all the comments about it being a "scam" surely isn't going to help us sell them if we choose to. The speakers are worth what we paid for them and maybe a little bit less in some cases. It all depends on what you paid. Nobody get screwed because you all bought the speakers off the street. I can understand that you might be feeling stupid because I felt the same way. However, I got a surround system that works well for $130. |

Anonymous | You people are all a bunch of idiots. When are you gonna learn you cant get something for nothing? When are you gonna learn when something seems too good to be true THAT'S CAUSE IT PROBABLY IS? Most of all though, when y'all gonna learn how to spell well? You guys got profiled cause you're all a bunch of stuid, ignorant LOSERS. I got approached by these guys too, about 3 months ago. When I got asked if I need speakers, I said no, and thanks. He asked if I was sure, and I asked about what. He says to me about the speakers. I said buddy get lost and go peddle your junk somewhere else. He starts defending the product, but I shut him up pretty quick. I asked him if the only reason he profiled me is cause I wasn't dressed well and because I drive a pick-up truck. He replied no, but I cut him off again. I told him I have more money than I can shake a stick at. Plus, I have a surround of B&W speakers already, worth many thousands. (B&W is REALLY good stuff, in case the majority of you shmucks are wondering.) So I told him to stop insulting my intelligence. I dropped my wallet on the ground between us, and I told him to be a real man and fight me for my money instead of trying to steal it with a jedi mind trick, him and his buddy both, right there in the Walmart parking lot. So, he's eyeing me and sizing me up. I'm egging them both on. Then, one lunges to make a move, I ran at him and hit him so hard he dented the road. Then, I ran at his buddy as he ran for the van. He had a few steps on me, and the van already had the windows up. He jumped in, closed and locked the doors. However, the loser's van wouldn't start! On top of that, The cargo door was unlocked!!! I opened it, ran in it and up to the front. I grabbed that goof by his hair and smashed out the side glass with his head, Opened the door, rolled him out, went and got my cell and called the cops that 2 men selling seemingly stolen goods had aparently been assalted badly and were in need of medical attention. Got off the phone, I kept kicking the crap out of both of them, mostly cause I thought of all the losers like you they ripped off. When the cops got there, I started to tell them the whole truth, but they left out anything incriminating me of assault. They told me they had no problem with my conduct at all. Now I see you clowns justifying yourselves and each other like its all fine. Truth is, it isnt fine, its a shame. A shame that I defended idiots like y'all. Bunch of knuckleheads! |

New member Username: SurfEncinitas, Ca Usa Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-05 | I pulled into the gas station in my brand new H2. A couple of guy's came up to me in my car and asked me if I wanted to check out some speakers. I took a look at them and they were called "Palmeros". I told them I never heard of them and they had mentioned that they are manufactured for installers and they are not really easy to find. He busted out the brochure to show the price. It was all pretty funny. I'm in sales and was sort of chuckling about the whole thing but I told the guys I live down the street and that I wanted to go and test them out. The guys came over to my house and we opened the box and I gave them a whirl. I allready have a Bose system connected and I just replaced my existing speakers with the new stuff. Honestly, I'm no expert but I didn't notice much of a difference. They seemed to be slightly weaker than my Bose but no major big difference. I figured what the hell, if it is a deal cool. If not big deal. The thing is I am a big boy and if I get screwed I except responsibility. It's only $200 bucks - wow. As far as they way they set up their sales presentation it's is pretty cheesy. If it were me I would just say I raided a warehouse and scored some killer stuff. I dont' know how much it's worth but I'll sell it to you for $200. That way it seems a bit more realistic. It is pretty comical though. I guess here's the lesson of the day....."IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF THE PRODUCT BEFORE IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN BUILT IN CAMBODIA." |

Dj T8 Unregistered guest | damn... my parents just got scammed... these guys in a truck pulled up by our store and asked us if we wanted speakers for cheap! my dad brought a few home to test out and liked it... he bought one pair and was about to buy a second pair when i found this page... THANK YOU PPL! now we wasted only 200 bucks on these tr-2000 speakers |

Screwed Unregistered guest | I just got screwed today as well. I don't know why I fell into their scam, but I did. I paid $400.00 dollars, can anybody believe this? I must be the most stupidest guy out there. There were two guys, one of them was decent like a know it all guy, and then there was this other guy who seems like a drunk or a crack head who seems to know what he is talking about. This happened today at around 1:30pm in the Canadian Tire mall near Kingsway in Vancouver, B.C. He showed me the stuff and it looked pretty genuine to me, Even the name Digital Research sounds authentic. He showed me some brochures and he even wore a a jacket from the company he worked for and also wore a name tag with his name on it and company as well. Man I just came home thinking I got a deal. I haven't even tried to hook this system up after I heard what you guys have encountered. I feel like a dumbass. He gave me his cell phone number and today I tried to phone him and he didn't even pick up. Afterwards I tried calling him back again he turned off his cellphone. So what I'm thinking was that since he is not answering my call today, I'll leave a message saying I'll buy some more systems if he has them on him, and also arrange for a time to meet him again. If he agrees and calls me back to meet me at the place I'll call the police on them and get them if I have a chance. Does anybody think this will work? |

Speaker saver Unregistered guest | Am I the only one who is wondering where the "scammers" are getting their product from. These look like you could make a very cheap, extremely good speaker if you used the theater reasearch enclosures and some higher-quality drivers. If anyone can post where these speakers are made/can be purchased I would appreciate it. PS does anyone have any sort of spec sheet or wiring diagram that they could post? |

speakeasy Unregistered guest | Apparently they are working their way south, and are in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area now. I believe I am their latest victim. I wouldn't call it a scam though because, to me, scams are when you are lied to in order to get your money but in the end walk away with nothing. These DR 2810 speakers are actually some very nice speakers. Very solid, very sharp looking, and has amazingly good range. My biggest problem with it is that speakers were at the very bottom on my list of needs, and the money I used on them was for something else. I am a big boy and can take responsibility for the things I do, but I can't distrust everyone, and that's the only way I could ever keep from being scammed. All I wanted to do was resell them on Ebay for $400-800 like he suggested and make some MUCH needed money (something he couldn't do because he was going to meet his boss and needed to get rid of them or his boss would take them). I absolutely can't stand LIARS!! Now I own 2 speakers that I can't resell for what I paid, and I don't own a stereo or TV that I can use them with. Watch out for a young oriental kid and his chubby, unkempt sidekick. They were driving a beige Toyota Highlander and apparently went through the same deception training as the other "salesmen" that previous posters talk about because our experiences were REMARKABLY similar. If you two losers are reading this thread, just know I have a lot more info about you that you realize. I already have your address from your plates. Plus, getting caught by the bank's surviellence camera wasn't too smart, was it Kirk? You lied to me even after I told you how important the money was, and just kept on making me think I would be able to make 5-times what I paid, and you told me the speakers were brand new, never opened. You fat POS! Yeah, I'll buy you a couple drinks if I see you around, but I'm gonna serve them to you MY way! Ever had a long-neck shoved down your throat and up yourass at the same time? |

hutcher Unregistered guest | Hey, Just wanted to give a heads up. My husband got hit at a Save-on-Foods is Red Deer AB. Told him not to by them, the out of the back of an SUV, sent red flags to me, but he got them. We are only out $180 for the surround system (the suggested retail box with $1999.99), which we hooked all the speakers up fearing fraud. We had them full blast on my pioneer stereo and they work fine. I consider us lucky, some people are out alot more, and we have a good working surround system. |

Anonymous | These guys are back in Clarksville, TN again. I'm out $400 bucks, I hope the speakers at least work. I didn't even take the time to open the box, just figured I was buying a pair of stolen speakers off of two dudes in a SUV and wanted a deal. They had like five or six boxes in the back, seemed legitimate. They said that they would have to give them back to the boss if they didn't sell. I can't figure out why this worked on me so well.. guess there is a greedy side to everyone willing to take a risk to make some cash. It's a good scam. |

yor loving mom Unregistered guest | Just a couple kind words for you Mr. speaker sellers. What you are doing is unethical and unfair ? It may not be against the law or maybe it is. It does not really even matter. You are basically making some profit by pissing somebody off real bad about 98% of the time. The ones that dont realize they got somehow screwed over are truly morons. You get away with this of course buy splitting, giving out fake numbers and names and lies. The same tactics that criminals who steal cars and sell drugs for a living use. Where do they end up 98% of the time ? Six feet deep or watching TV and getting buttf@cked by cellies in prison. Well of course you say "I'm not doing anything illegal, they can't put me in jail,everything I do is by the law !" But is this really to your advantage ? If people cant use the law to get back at someone what do they do ? They swallow,swallow,swallow some more...Until , you guessed it. What goes down must come back up or come out some other ugly way.People take it in their own hands. Now this is really not good, for you, Mr. Speaker seller.And of course I'm only trying to scare you,but you are not afraid.Or maybe you are, a little bit.It does not matter I cant hurt you right ?. Maybe that guy that just bought from you is folowing you home? He just bought from you because he is a psycho who was screwed over a couple times by somebody else, but now you are his victim ! You are his next target... Or maybe the police is already watching you beacause they think you're selling drugs on the side. Or maybe is just that a big black cloud is hovering above you ready to strike you with lightning bolt. Maybe some thug is already smashing up your shity vehicle in the parking lot or painting graffiti on your mothers house, or smearing sh@t all over your front door. Maybe you 'accidentally' blow a tire on the freeway and drive into the center divider at 80 mph. Or you just get arrested for no reason at all because they get a false alarm. Maybe u just got the sh@t beat out of you by some brothers and you have no idea why. You know the saying " You cant wipe your bleeding nose with your broken arm "... Maybe you're thinking right now... I dont understand it I have done nothing bad I commited no crime, why is GOD punishing me ? So if you like what you are doing we are happy for you and the more power to you. Oh and have a nice day ! Send me a postcard from hell will you ? |

Anonymous | What is funny as all get out is that I know one of these speakerguys and he is flat out on his backside right now since he can't scam the people who he has already scammed once before. He now has some bs magazine with a faked up article in it about how great the speakers are and he uses this in his speal. He pays $100 bucks for a pair that in the mag says retail for $995.99, of course his boss paid $50 for them and sells them to this chump for $100. He was talking about how much he used to make a couple years ago- up to a couple grand a day! *would blow it all at topless bars on booze. So Some of these fools are hurting and they deserve to suffer for the crap that they have pulled. |

Natulip Unregistered guest | What gets me is that at the time of the scam the guys seemed legitimate...but when it replays in my head I can't believe how I could have fallen for it. This was an expensive lesson to always follow your gut and to never trust anyone you don't know. I bought my speakers thinking they would be a great gift for my boyfriend. If I only had my cell phone with me I could have called him and he would have stopped me soon enough...But I wasn't listening to my gut and just bought on impulse. We'll try them out this weekend to see if they really work. I was had in a parking lot at a busy shopping center in Phoenix, AZ by two guys in a charcoal grey chevy 4door Pickup...one guy had long hair the other had short...I bet it was the same guys from the Mesa entry above. Hey Mesa! Maybe we should call "3 on your side"....Oh and to the June 8th "Screwed" entry, if you can get the guy to meet you again I would definately try to get the police out there with you...these people need to know what they are dealing with. |

Unregistered guest | Same story happened to me yesterday in a Wal-mart parking lot in Ontario Canada. Kid over loaded, Boss will take them for straight profit, we want to make some money, we have to be in Toronto in an hour and 40 mins. I baught a pair of DA U2 tower speakers for 300 bucks. sound good an real nice looking too. Piano lacquer finish and crazieness. They sound good and look amazing. The box says suggested retail of 1599.99 each and he showed them to me in a magazine. They look amazing and I apparently owe him some beers and a table dance. He will be dancing all right,lol. I'm pretty OK with it. Scam or not, They make a 19 year old male look rich and thats all the ladies need. Don't sweat it to much guys, If I see them again, I'm getting more for cheaper. |

Anonymous | Hello Everyone - I am so sorry these situations have happened to you, but honestly, the product is good and just because it was sold out of a truck or van, you shouldn't be smack talking the product. Maybe just the unconventional ways of the seller. I personally think the product is GREAT.... so next time just wheel and deal a little better deal for yourself and stop bad talking the product!! |

Dumb Blonde Girl Unregistered guest | Hi! I was approached in a Wellsfargo Parking lot trying to find my way out when a man in a green truck stuck his head out of the window and asked me if I wanted to "buy speakers." At first I thought "go away!" but when he kept on convincing me to look at his product I couldn't resist. There was a moment there when I thought I was going to be abducted or whatever but the man was a young twenty-something fellow and I figured, "oh what the hell!" I ended up buying the dr-1000 speaker set for 400 dollars so I feel true to my blonde status. I had dumped my boyfriend 4 days ago and really I think I just wanted to talk to the man because I craved one. Oh, pathetic I am!!!!!!!!!! |

Anonymous | 800 $ here, Guelph, Ontario. July 5, 2005. dark cargo van, two young guys. They were pretty good, very convincing, my hat goes off to them. They had the same story, extra inventory, last time it happened their boss sold them on e-bay for 3000$, so this time they are trying to sell them, no time to take them home. Blah blah blah. Obviously when you buy something like this you know it is a gamble, and this is a gamble that I lost. Althopugh I feel like a bit of a fool, I knew I was gambling, they bested me, and that's that. However, I will not be buying them the heiniken that I promised when they call me and stop by (and no, I dont think that they will). The real Irony in this is that I (we) got scammed trying to participate in an imaginary scam. I find the concept quite amusing. Any ways, Que sera sera. PS If any one wants to buy some digital research speakers (model DA U2) for 800$ e-mail me at diablos@death-star.com Also, if the Oliver above is the oliver that sold them to me, congratulations on your success, but shoot me an e-mail (or call me), cause I would like to purchase some more of your wonderfull products, or have you professionally instal my system. |

White van, did not take note of the f*cking plates -dumb a$$. I told the F*cker that I am short on cash etc but he insisted, then started to drive off since my offer was too low, then i said 'im sorry i cant buy the stuff' then he stopped and put the $hit in my car and told me to drive to the bank - yes i even had the mother f*cker sit in my car!!!. They damn f*ucking good since I did not even have the need to buy speakers - he did have a hot b*tch in the f*cking van though. Be careful, if i see you again, I will scr$w the brains out of your f*ucking b$tch to get my $200 worth.

Dude approched me when i was leaving the parking lot of a gas station when stopped me he was in a blue ford explorer said it was his bosses wifes car. Same story about the two to many, i had a choice of the home or the car system he showed me them both in that same catalog.He said he was from Greensboro NC and meeting his boss in Gastonia. He kept on insisting that i didn't sell them on ebay said he didn't want me to make money off him being nice. He also kept saying that if he seen me out i owed him a beer, and i think really own him something now. He started at $400 and kept going down and I almost pulled away when he said he would take $180. I lost out because i thought i could resale for a quick buck. I even gave the dude the last of my smoke and a pack of cigerettes because i thought i was getting such a good deal.I've learned another hard lesson. This guy had black curly bushy hair with glasses and a quarter sleeve of tattos up his right arm. |

It happened in stony brook outside a bank PRESENT DAY: July 15th 2005 - Just got hit by this EXACT guy in Hicksville outside a bank. He said the same EXACT things and showed me the same pictures. And he fits the same physical description with as well as the same minivan. I'm 100% sure its the same dude. I even did a massive burn-out in my 350-Z for him. He's good, and can have my $200.00 Some lessons learned in life can cost that much. |

Richerthanu Unregistered guest | hey im a speaker vguy. i have lots to say to you punks but this guy sums it up good. Comment by Mike Wallburg: Basically, after reading all the "victim posts" I think if you bought these speakers it was because you VOLUNTEERED to doing something morally questionable (at best) and by doing so were hoping to save (or make) a bunch of money and get a pair of 'really good speakers' at a fraction of the cost. The 'van guys' essentially come out and TELL you they are DISHONEST ("...no plans to return the speakers...") so you JOIN IN on the DEAL!?! Basically you try and cheat and then blame others for cheating you...worse yet some of you are willing to hurt or even KILL these kids who are only taking money from greedy, un-informed and apparently quite gullable people. If their story WAS true, by purchasing those speakers you are agreeing to assist them in cheating the "imaginary" distributor. This makes you as guilty as they are. I would be reluctant to tell anyone at work you went for such a story. Your ethics and moral standing may suddenly come into scrutiny. If you don't know (or live by) "If its too good to be true - it is..." Maybe its time to grow up and stop being such a "victim". Mike |

200 bucks to the good Unregistered guest | Aurora, Il....Home Depot off 88 & Orchard Ha! Yep, me too........and I'm glad! $200 and 2 packs of smokes got me the 5.1 system!...........I pluged it in, all works and sounds nice, a little bit of power too.(hooked it up to my Pioneer reciever). Overall, they honestly are fair speakers that produce decent sound ....and thats about it...wouldnt use it for anything serious like trying to decipher ohm and decible output or mixing down 98 tracks of THX digital audio....or whatever you guys are trying to do with these. Fiddle with your eq, throw on a cd, and turn it up and stop your moaning. Ya get what ya pay for. Where else can you get 5 speakers for 200 bucks, thats 40$ each....dont know where you can get a sub for $40 bucks other than a flea market or radio shack. If you are really into your audio equipment thats cool but you already should have known better.....a brand you never heard of, cheezy packaging, that cheap sales pitch from a couple of dropouts....did you actually think that there is something better than your Bose or Polk system out there, and that nobody other than these kids ever heard of or have written a review on or advertised somewhere!?. I knew it wasnt legit and got chuckle out of the two kids sales pitch.....made me laugh. I was actually looking for some small speakers to put on my system 'cause I just got rid of the enormous TOA monitors I was using. I opened the boxes and checked them out to make sure I wasnt buying a box of sand and yeh, I gave em 20o bucks......i think we all have blown far more money on far worse in our past! Nobody likes to be had, and you werent,... and there is no need to want to kill someone over speakers.....they offered and you bought, so what, lesson learned, if it hurts you'll get over it (except for they guy that had them forced on him). I'm actually rather pleased with my new speakers. I have owned the Bose system, have a Polk sub, used TOA for tack mixing and have JVC on my garage system......and though these definately are not those, I have also had far far worse that cost much more....(pssst...Sony)! How many of you actually set them up before complaining? Dont blame them, even the slugs and bottom feeders have to eat, we all choose our own vocations.....what comes around goes around and it will catch up with them in the end. My satisfaction comes with the fact that the speakers work, and work rather fine for my use.....so to me it was a deal. I dont support their methods and lies but its our own fault......especially you audio guys that should have known better. Got their bogus name and phone number, car make and plates (which I could have traced to the owner)a reciept and even an invite to join them at the local strip club!!!..but not gonna do anything about it....you cant, other than lieing to you they are merely selling you something; and tell me when a salesman has actually told you the truth..Ha!.......as far as I see it I'm happy and I win. So when and if they get busted or shut down, overdose on drugs, wind up in jail, get the sh!t beat out of them or go out and actually get a legit job........I'll still be happy listening to my rather good, off name, mislabled, China-made, sold on a lie, set of average speakers. .......common sense people. |

Anonymous | Coastal SC-This guy flagged my teenaged son down and offered same BS story. Son didn't have enough cash so the guy agreed to take a check-Bad Move! As soon as the guy left with check, my son opened the box and immediately realized the equipment was not worth the money and called me to tell of the suspected scam. I called my bank and immediately put a stop payment on the check. Surely he would realize that when he couldn't cash the check that soemthing might be wrong and he needed to move on. Wrong, the dumb jerk called my house and left threatening phone message on the recorder about turning me in on a felony "bad-check" charge. Phone number he left was a toll-free number out of state-problem was, my caller ID provided his cell number and my son was smart enough to write his tag number down. I gave the speaker equipment and information to local police when I filed a formal complaint. They called the crook and told him he could pick up his equipment at the police station. He has yet to show up. Hope my son learned a lesson-but it still cost me $35 for the stop payment and police further convinced me to close the checking account in case a different scam or fraud is attempted. |

shankme Unregistered guest | Windsor, Ontario Same story from the guys in Guelpf, approached me in a mall parking lot on July 22/05, baught the DR-2810 $1689 US each as it advertises on the box, paid $500 for the pair. Their boss orders them, they picked them up from customs and the company sent them too much, and they have to be heading to Toronto soon so their boss dosent get suspicious. They even had a magazine that featured them. The name had a familiar sound so i figured they were ligit. IF ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT PROBOBLY IS. I also owe them a few Beers and supposed to hook them up with some ladies i know. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. I also have some additional information on these guys, email me at shankme21@yahoo.ca |

He asked us if we wanted to buy some speakers (although i ended up paying for them). He sold us one, then my friends gave him their lunch for a second speaker. That right there says "SCAM". Payed $260. The funny thing is is that i called my brother and he sayed that he bought the same speakers from two guys that fit the description of the two that sold me the speakers. |
