AUDIOFILE AUDIOFILE IS CORRUPT AND IS THE "TRADEMARK" (tm) OF PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID, BE WARNED! COMPLETLY FRAUDULENT AND EASY TO IDENTIFY. NEW YORK CITY NATIONWIDE!!
I was alerted by three individuals (2 WHITE MALES, both TALL with a football player appearence and 1 HISPANIC MALE, short and fat with a pony tail and hazel contact lenses all about 25 years old) in a "WHITE VAN" that claimed to have "EXTRA AUDIO SPEAKERS". This occured on QUEENS BLVD. in Rego Park, Queens, yesterday afternoon.
After much haggleing double parked on this busy ave. I agreed to pay $450 for 2 "AUDIOFILE (583lr) speakers" "delivered to my home" and be "installed" AND driven back to my current location WHICH THEY SAID WERE WORTH $1500 a piece! They even had some sort of catalogue and shipping form detailing
Obviously, this makes ME a complete idiot (I too can be wrong).
During the ride there were coninued talks about "TITTY BARS" and "THE SPEAKERS" and the (VERY MISLEADING!!!) SMALL TALK. Essentially, small talk becomes a form of 'self hipnosis', which was what distracted me from the truth.
The exteneded version, of what was said about the speakers, had tales of a "mishandled pickup which left (them) with 4 extra speakers" and "a delivery in 30 minutes of all the speakers to a club". Also, I was asked if I would "re-sell them."! Which I had no intention of. They even had some sort of catalogue and shipping form detailing the "oversight" of the 4 extra speakers.
They continually pestered me about taking the other two speakers as it "would be a waste to drop them off with the delivery". But could not afford to spend more money so I refused each time but offered to hold the speakers until they picked them up later(like any humane being would do).
They delivered the speakers to my home and even asked me "which colour (I) would like them in." The 2 WHITE ones brought the speakers in. Inside... (I let these spineless bastards into my home...) my mother and brother were present.
I told my mom "a couple of people are coming in to deliver speakers for me.", we went to my room and one of them opened a box and I took a look at the speakers, which appeared to be exactly what I wanted. I gave them money and was once again asked if I can buy the other two. I said all I got is another $150 and insisted again that they leave the extra speakers and get them later. Which, obviously, was refused. Also, I didnt have a reciever (the only way to test them) so I didnt want to waste THIER time getting one up here!
We left, I got my ride back to where I needed to be. Soon, I returned home to inspect fully and install my new speakers. First I thought I would do some research on them and found NOTHING but this site.
