Theater Innovations ripoff, fraudulant claims as to product and price, what it could be used for, performance Nationwide
I was approached by two men in a van, claimed to have a over run of stock on surround sound systems and speakers, made fraudulent claims as to product and what it would do and performance. Also said sold for $2400.00 and on sale usally$1600.00. They did not want to haul these back to there store supposedly in green bay wisconsin. I would like the home address of this fraudulent company.
I am planning with the filing of the law-suit against this company for $85,000.00 for the violation's of the various title~18:u.s.a.~criminal-violations for the civil-claim~9-b: fraud, :title~18:u.s.a.~646: conveyance by the fraud, :title~18: u.s.a.~241:theft by the fraud.
If any party has their address please furnish to me, together we can build a class action case and put these party or parties in jail where they belong. Thank-you

If they do not have a proper occupational license and in many jurisdictions a special permit is required to sell items off the street. I'm fairly sure the white van crew has neither of these. Also it's safe to assume they don't pay their sales tax, which is a crime.
That said, I'm sure the police will get right on this as soon as they solve all the murders and stuff.
The usual line in the scam is that the sellers got these speakers when they were loaded "by mistake" and they want to sell them so their boss "the jerk" doesn't get them. Translated: They are implying that the speakers are stolen. They are also saying that these speakers are worth a couple of thousand dollars which would make buying them felony receiving stolen property, if that were true.
Anybody who falls for this deserves to lose a couple of hundred dollars. Consider it a cheap lesson

You all need to stop crying about being ripped off for a couple hundred bucks. First off there is no one to Sue, because there is no real company. They pay a no name company to box up crap speakers and other stereo equipment and put the "theater innovations" name on it. Believe it or not it is not even illegal, because again there is no company. I already spoke to police about it. But mainly, YOU are the morons who fell for the scam in the first place, so look at it as an expensive learning experience. If it makes anyone feel better I bought everything they had in the truck and lost $3000 to that scam, but what can I do? I'm the idiot who bought the crap!

There is no address. They operate out of rented facilities and move from city to city.

Usually, they rent a storage location for a month or so. They hustle off as much trash as they can.
Then, they move the con to a new city where there are new victims. That's why they operate out of vans. Look at the license plates. There are from a thousand miles away.
Forget your big lawsuit. Who can you sue? A guy in a white van that's long gone?
You need to smarten up. As long as people keep buying, they'll keep right on going.
But, when everyone wises up and turns them down, the money ends. As soon as the money ends, you won't be seeing any more vans.
That's how you put these people out of business. Not lawsuits. You cut off the money.
