AudioFile ripoff, scam, sells speakers from a white van, gives BS stories Jacksonville Florida
Yeah, I'm another idiot that got taken from these A#!holes. I can't believe I fell for this.
I'm on my way to Winn Dixie, off of Southside and Baymeadows, when these two guys in a white van pull up along side of me and tell me they got some speakers that they need to get rid of. They ask me to pull over so they could explain. The older guy, about 27-30yrs old, gives me a BS story that they're delivery guys and this order got canceled and if they take the speakers back that they're just gonna be taken by the boss for personal use, and that they would rather profit from this than let him do it again. They had paperwork on the stuff and everything.
What got me was that he claimed to have just tried to sell them to a cop and that the cop interrogated them about it and that they proved to him it was legit. So I think, why not get a good deal on some speakers that I can go on Ebay and sell for a profit. So I fork over $400 and off I go. Sucker!
If those guys are reading this, thanks for getting me in a world of crap with my wife. Buy you a drink when I see you in a bar huh? I got your drink @$!holes! Ripoff someone who puts their a*s on the line to defend your freedom... I hope you burn in hell.

I got the call from my friend who told me about the deal I can't pass up on. We met with these guys selling speakers out the back of their white van. They were two white guys, mid to late 20s. One about 6' 180 lbs with short spiky hair and an earing; and the other who never left the van I'd guess to be 5'9", 200 lbs with short sandy blonde hair. The story went that they were going to the local "Hooters" to install a new sound system and that the boss ordered too many sets of speakers. This was a common occurence to the fact where he ended up with a plasma tv through the company. The company they supposedly worked for was Extreme Audio Professionals (something like that!) they had business flyers and the speaker systems they sold were audiofile THX 6.1 surround sound system with the same old suggested retail of $1999. They needed to sell them for $300 a box to bring the supply to a small loss. I got home and "googled" the model of speakers only to have a list of ripoffreport.com display. After reading the reports I called my friend and we reported the incident to the police. We called the 1800 # that was on the van and looked into the business address posted on the van. both were wrong. I gave the license plate # to the police and have not heard anything back yet. I called the radio station to share my story with the local public.

Did you get any receipt from the guy? I myself fell for the same BS only a couple days ago, but I got a receipt which has return and refund instructions right on it, etc. If you did, just follow the instructions. Normally you only have 3 days to mail out the copy of the receipt. Hope it's not too late!
