Ok followed up with police and contacted most of the area agencies and attorney General in WA. FYI and if you have acesses to run down plate numbers and take matters in your hands, they are operating out of a distrubution center in tukwilla wa, the plates on the Black Excursion SUV are B5448F Wa, good luck

Well i got scamed too but......, i called the police a few hrs later after searching the web on this. What i have now is their finger prints on the box, will be given to ploice, they are driving Black Ford SUV, licence number begins B544... (WA), i have (or the bank) video recording of him standing behind me at the ATM and maybe also a viedo recording from the store parking lot where i was approached. 2 white males in late 20's. They screwed up this time.

Hunting for you! Better not see you in my hood!

My hubby was just scammed by these guys, too.  I kept telling him not to believe the line of crap they were telling us, but typical male thought he was getting such a "once in a lifetime deal!" - Once in a lifetime ripping off!  As for quality, let me just say this - I have bought speakers twice in my lifetime - both times I bought the cheapest set from Walmart and I was just thrilled with them - they sounded absolutely fine to me.  These Olin Ross, however, sounded awful.  Not even usable.  The sound oscillated up and down - loud, then not audible with some strange static sound continuous in the background.  Hubby is constantly looking around for their van - I sure hope he finds it as those two won't be scamming around here anymore ;)

9-4-08  I was just hustled by this same scam.  White van with a couple systems in them saying they had an extra on the truck that didn't get counted for in the distribution center.  Two white guys saying they were delivery guys for this company.  I even said to the two of them that I never do this because things that good are usually too good to be true.  Never a more true saying.  Got me for $500.  Just called the Tweeter stores and said "sounds like a back of the van" product.  Be aware!

but I still can't understand why it is scam

Think I just got had.  Two guys in a white van in Dayton Ohio selling Olin Ross.

I was at a car repair shop in NEWARK, NEW JERSEY and a couple guys came by to try to hustle one of the owner's and a customer for $200.  

CHINA made + shipping costs $24.95.  The speakers supposedly work worse than a internal TV speaker

We googled the OLIN ROSS and found many scams listed.

BEWARE

Did a google and can up with alot of info on this scam !

Watch this Fox News report
http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/Co...

The speakers sold by the speakermen are of exceptionally poor quality,
typically obtained for less than $50 from a local distributor.

The speakers themselves have been reported as
potentially damaging to any amplifier they are connected to.

The risk of damage stems from an impedence curve that in some cases may drop
below 2 ohms, which may overheat, short out, or permanently damage an
amplifier not designed to handle such loads.

Make sure you report this scam to :

1) Local Law enforcement
2) Attorney General
3) City and State Department of Revenue
4) IRS
5) Local TV or Newspapers

Most of these SpeakerFleas

1) Do not obtain proper permits to "sell out of a Van"
2) use lies, fraud, trickery and intimidation to make a sale
3) Most do not collect,report or pay their required by
law taxes for sales and income

Isn't it time we insist that our elected officials
put a stop to this scam.
Support a law that mandates a minimum
fine of $10,000 or 5 years prison

Please copy, repost and warn other
