Complaint Review: olin ross

I was approached at a shopping center this afternoon in Gold River California by a guy in a white van with Florida plates on his white van. He said he had a great deal on an olins ross stereo system. He showed me the MSRP in a magazine he had and on the box which had not been opened. I said I would give him 20 dollars otherwise I had no use for it I already have enough systems. He didn't want to let go of it for that. I left, and when I went home I put the name into the yahoo search and found this is a scam which apparently is legal. But is it. They apparently have a warranty on this item by sending it to TL Warranty Department in Chino Hills , Ca. They have a website that yes only show a MSRP price. But in reality isn't whatthey are doing is "Obtaining Money Under False Pretences" which is illegal in any state. I sister in law is one of the Assistant Deputy Attorney Generals here in California and I am going to ask her if there is any legal recourse in this matter. Sure people think they are getting is cheap , but in reality they are in essence joining a conspiracy in a sense because just like the government sting operations do, they are really asking you to break the law with them yet they don't have the protection of the law.
