pea from earlier qotw
not me but a friend

was leaving Best Buy and spotted an attractive young lady eying him down in the parking lot. She came over and started up a conversation, my gullible buddy was very delighted at acquiring her attention. Then her rather large and scary "boyfriend" shows up and she asks him if he would like to buy some speakers. He says doesn't have enough money in which she suggest he can go to the ATM. Before he can refuse, she's in his passenger seat and they're off to the ATM with her rather large accomplice following in a creepy white van.

50 bucks for a set of speakers he never uses. Doesn't even have the right kind of stereo. Never even hooked them up. Any one ever heard of London Audio?

He's a rather sensitive fellow so we never made fun of him to his face. aren't we sweet.

Dogpoo Audio
London Audio must be the Tesco Value brand of scammers speakers.
More than once I have received breathless phone calls from well-meaning mates, bless them, who have been accosted by "engineers returning from an installation job" trying to offload "extra" speakers they happen to have left in their van, going for a fraction of their apparent real value.

Do I want them to get some for me too? They are going to be gone really quick, got to act now!

Erm, no, listen, I deal in Pro-Audio for a living, trust me, you are being set up. You won't be doing me a favour and getting me some bargain stock, I'd be surprised if there's even any drivers in them.

These scamsters even have glossy printed leaflets with all the spec printed on them and carbons of the purchase invoices.
Alas, their leaflets are full of utter bollocks which might bamboozle your average Joe, but that someone like me will be pleased to pick apart with them in a car park. This has been followed by me being called a "smart arsed cunt" and a Transit leaving at high speed.
