3 guys in a blue minivan came up to me in the parking lot of Canadian Tire and asked if I was interested in some cheap stereo equipment... they offered me this Olin Ross 5.1 Sound System. The price on the box (and I mean stamped on beside the barcode - very realistic) is $3995.00.

The one guy said he could give it to me for as low as $600.00. I ended up paying this jerk $320.00 - "beer money". The next day I was talking with one of my buddies at work about it and he said it was a scam... his friend had just been taking for a nice chunk of change as well.

When I checked the consumer report on line I realized this is a scam!!! Needless to say I feel very disapointed and just want to warn others.

For those who wish to learn more about this scam, go to Google and search for "white van scam" and click on the Wikipedia link. It should be noted that this scam is common on Craigslist and eBay as well.

There's an old saying, "Let the buyer beware".
