Don't feel so bad...many people fall for this scam. It is reported here quite often. I know for a fact this has been going on in just about every state in the USA..for many many many years...maybe as much as 30 years or longer.
The con men always give the same c**k and bull story about their "boss" etc etc...and this even happened to a friend of mine in Florida a few years ago.
Now like him..you were lucky enough to actually get a working system..as it is also common for these scumbags to sell a box of rocks, junk and sand so it feels heavy..but when you get home and open it..filled with rocks...or the speaker cabinets have sand in them instead of speakers.
Now you learned a lesson and are stuck with a system that is probably worth less then a hundred bucks..if you don't feel guilty ripping someone else off to get your money back..you might get $200 for it from another sucker.
Lesson 1)
Never buy anything from "some guys" in a parking lot out of the back of a car or truck...how do you know it's not stolen? You could go to jail for that...and what if it breaks in 2 days..where do you bring it for warranty service?
Lesson 2)
Anyone can have any price they want to have printed on a box..that does not cost much. What does cost much is buying a piece of crap not worth half of what you paid..and you know it could have been worse had you had a pocket of cash at the time.
What I would have done is told them.."follow me to my bank"...and have them follow me right to the police station...then who would of had the last laugh?
