Audiofile consumer fraud ripoff Austin Texas
On Guadalupe right by the University of Texas I was ripped off by two guys who gave me a scam that I shouldn't have honestly fell for. They told me they worked for a courier company that delivers audio equipment. That the people who loaded their silver vehicle had overstocked their car. And they wanted to get rid of them to make a quick buck (that the two could split).
I was a little skeptical... of course. But they showed me a magazine that listed the price for the very same speakers that they wanted to get rid of. That price was $849 each. Wow...I thought. I worked them down from $800 for both to $600. Silly as it is, I was proud and finally willing to buy.
I went to an ATM to withdraw $500 (and of course they were happy to load them into the back of my vehicle). The nerve of these guys. That wasn't enough. So I handed a check that had been written to me over to them.
I was given his actual home cell and phone number. I thought I was an idiot! What kind of scam artist gives out his actual phone numbers?!?! I reverse looked up up his home number. His home address was returned. Along with his full name. The reason I know the address is right is because he put JD on the same piece of paper that had his phone numbers.
I have talked to both guys on the cell phone.
The guy whose information I have is Hispanic. Everything I have on him is below. I don't have info on the Caucasian. He didn't say anything to me at all really.
