6-3-2010 Flagstaff Az. 2:oo pm
Mr. Chris Tedesco aproached me and my 4 yr old grandson (who lives with us) in the Flagstaff Walmart Parking Lot. He informed me he had a lot of extra PARAMAX P 6.1 Surround Sound systems and could sell one cheap He asked "HOW MUCH could you give me for one." I explained that my husband had just gotten his check and there wasn't much left after the bills and that we were buying groceries on sale only.
Mr. Tedesco is a VERY good talker and kept talking...............I asked to see his ID. When he pulled out his Drivers License he had a HUGE roll of $20's arounfd his license
First he said he had JUST sold one for $600.00 next it was $400.00 then down to $220.00, I told him I couldn't spend that much,(but to be honest in my mind I was thinking " I've saved some money for my husbands birthday which is in a couple of days and I would love to surprise him with a Home Entertainment System"). Again he asked "HOW MUCH CAN YOU DO?" I replied "I'm wasting your time $100.00 was alot of money right now." and he said since TODAY (6-3-77) he would do it. As I was walking away he asked for an extra $20.00 for BEER since it was his birthday. I went to the ATM inside of Bashas' and drew out some of the grocery money.
We got home and my grandson said excitedly "GRANDPA WE GOT YOU A GREAT SURPRISE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY!!" Then after my husband opened it he said "Honey I hope you didn't pay much for this".
I looked on line and Paramax said it was worth $1999. BUT then I started reading how other people had been scammed BY CHRIS TEDESCO in the same white truck, the same story, the same everything. I feel SOOOO Stupid. The worst thing is I spent my saved money and some of our grocery money on a not so good system for My hard working Husband's Birthday..
BEWARE!! IF THEY (Mr. Tedesco had a friend driving) WILL PRAY ON A 50 ++ yr old GRANDMOTHER and her 4 YR OLD Grandson, OUTSIDE OF A GROCERY STORE, WHO EXPLAINS THAT TIMES ARE HARD.......................................... WHO WON"T THEY PRAY ON..
PLEASE Do NOT Be like me.....JUST SAY "NO"
