omg.. this is the first time in my life i got scammed.. (@*&^(*@^#(*@(@%#*(^@%#O&@%#&@(#^&@(*#@%#@#
i was @ the local best buy to buy some packing peanuts to pack something i was shipping... then 2 guys in a red gmc van-like-suv came up to me with a whole bunch of audio equipment in the back showed me a Divinci D-6 audio system saying it was worth 3k... they even had a magazine showing it was worth 3k... they said their boss overloaded the truck w/o marking invoice and so they had a few extra systems which they sold. I kept insisting i didn't want it and they wouldn't stop bothering me. the guy kept talking some more stuff, saying he sold a few before me and showed me a wad of cash... i dunno y.. that bastard just kept talking and showed me an open box sample.. and somehow... i became gullable and fell for it >< ended up wasting $400CAD i'm banging my head against my desk right now for being so stupid and falling for such a cheap trick.. i should've saw it coming when they said the kicker amp in their car was worth 1k... @(*&(*!@^%(!*^%(@*!^%@(*!%@(&!^%(*&@^%@ i tried calling a few friends during this and no1 was home.. then after i called another friend and the first thread he found was this: http://www.scamshield.com/Sighting.asp?sta...anada&article=1 @!(*&(*@((*&(^#**&#(@%#(*@(*@&#*(@&#*)@#^(*@#@(*#^(*^(@^*#@ man... i got owned so badly ![]() i guess @ least the boxes aren't empty... i just hope they actually work... since i read they are utter CRAP... i guess if they do work i'll just use them... to remind me not to be so greedy and gullable in the future =( i just had to vent i guess i jsut got greedy... forgot the old saying if it's too good to be true, it probably is... in the back of my mind i kept thinking thinking @ most they would be stolen.. i didn't expect they'd just be utter crap >< dammit... i ahve the guy's cell fone #.. is there anything i can do? or would the police just say "hey, u paid for it and u got the product... nothing we can do" This post has been edited by elvasoshexai: Jul 21, 2006 - 4:27 PM -------------------- |

That sucks buddy.
I might call the cops, tell them the story, print out a couple pages from the scam website. If the cops are on your side, they might help. Tecnically the guys aren't breaking the law much, but police might be able to give them ticket for resale without license or other stuff- if you can convince the cops these guys are losers. -------------------- ![]() psalm 69 |
