"eBay Trampoline Source?"
[edit]There is no source for the information about trampolines. Should this information be removed? How related is it to the topic? 2601:CF:8001:6F10:7CFA:52D2:5A1F:6FE2 (talk) 08:14, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
"White Van Speaker Scam"
[edit]I had this scam pulled on me twice about ten years apart. It was the same sales pitch, but different names(Acoustic & Kirsch). I recently purchased Klipsch speakers and informed the "speaker guy" of this,but he continued with his pitch. I asked him why I should purchase a knock-off when I have the real thing at home. He then began thumbing through an audio magazine I had never heard of, and even told me that I probably never heard of it because it was so high end. He saw that I was not going buy them for myself so he suggested that I buy them for a loved one because it was such "a smoking deal". At that point I told him that a guy approached me before with the same lies. He sped off without saying good bye or anything.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 02:57, 31 May 2007 (talk • contribs) 71.223.235.81
"Scammed today"
[edit]I had this pulled on me today I paid 400 for a "divinci" reciever with the speakers and all. The guy claimed to be from Barrie working in Toronto, and went to Buffalo to pick them up, and the guy messed up the order and gave him too many. So he claimed to be driving around looking to sell these "$3600 dollar speakers" to whoever wants them because they were cash in his pocket. I get home and look up the speakers online and find out about this white van speaker buisness. He even gave me a phony cell phone number so I would take him out for beers later on in the week or something. Sure enough, the number was fake too. All the signs point to the white speaker scam though. He even pulled out a magazine and showed them to me. Havent hooked up the speakers yet, so Im hoping they're at least better than the ones from 1984 that I have now. I'll be happy then.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.150.194.133 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 8 June 2007

Removed List of brands associated with the scam
[edit]Added section for discussion, as per the comment from some years ago above. This list has a lot of unsourced entries and I believe it is potentially libelous information. The in--line reference is a single article which says it in turn got the list from unnamed 'internet forums.' On that basis, I've removed it pending a better reference. If anyone feels it should be re-instated; please check each entry first as at least one seems to be a genuine manufacturer (JL Audio) JeffUK (talk) 18:09, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
