Default Did i get scammed?

Paid 275.00 for this Home Theater system from a guy that said he was a bonded driver. http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=main/...5366.jpg&s=f10

It has suggested retail price of 3,299.00 but i couldnt pass it up.

where did you buy it off of? have you been in contact with him yet? I hope not although there is these 2 guys and it always the same 2 guys in my town that go around saying that they want to sell you a home theater system or top of the line speakers and they rip you off!!! They just say that they work for a company that got one extra unit sent but was never charged for it and their boss just wants it gone. They've aproched me a total of like 5 times lol

As they say, if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is.

Sorry

I might be getting laid-off so i wouldnt purchase anything right now. I had to take a picture of this and ask you guys because i dont believe my neighbor. I have never heard of this scam, but if someone approach me in a truck with some merchandise, it better be Onkyo, Yamaha, Kenwood, etc.

He is reading this right now.

My fiances dad bought us a system like that from a guy selling out of a van. Looked nice but it was the biggest pos. Just look at the box what kind of company puts the price like that on the box.

I just pulled up some other ones on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-INNOVATIONS-...QQcmdZViewItem


He just left.

I hated to bust his bubble, but he was talking so much trash.

The same thing has happened to me like 4 times.

I would be at an intersection..and this guy and his friend in some SUV pulls up and says "hey, I have this home theatre system thats worth $2000. And Im selling it for $300 because It was an extra order...do you want it???" And I would say no im all set....

If its to good to be true..then..its not true. Its a scam.

Kinda reminds me of the great TV deal the Wayans brothers offered that guy in the movie Mo' Money.
