The Speaker Scam

It they're stolen then it is illegal.

I know a guy that got sold a stolen car; he ended up doing 9 months in jail for it. (Receiving stolen goods)

I call BS. There's got to be more to this story that you aren't mentioning.

If I go buy a car, and I'm handed what looks like a legit title, from who appears to be the actual owner, everything looks on the "up and up", I'm not going to do jail time if it turns out that car was stolen.
 


I almost got in a fight with one of these faggots. Called him out at the gas station and dude flipped out lol

I did this shit before for like half a day when I was younger. It was supposed to be a "driver" job. I was being "trained" my first day and was just told to watch as this dude did his thing. We sold these things to some guy who had money saved for Christmas for $900, felt so bad never went back the next day. If you think rebills are bad this shit just felt straight criminal.

Makes my blood boil....
 
I hate people that sell door to door, random phone call or in public. So extremely annoying.
 
When I was 16 I went to the car wash and was approached by a guy doing this, since I had just bought my car I didn't have but maybe 50 bucks to my name but acted interested for the sake of hearing his sales pitch. He was actually pretty enticing till I told him I didn't have $400, he then started asking if I could go to the bank and get money from my parents account or borrow it from friends and all that did was make him sound desperate.
 
lol, never been approached by these assholes, but i have a set of speakers i got on craigslist from a guy who'd been scammed. he paid $200 and went home to google the brand, found out they were garbage, and sold them to me for $40. best $40 i've ever spent, these speakers rock.
 
How is it any worse than affiliates making false promises on their ads/landing pages about acai/teeth/colon/bizop offers online? Two rebills combined would easily take more than $150 EVERY MONTH until canceled.

Just because affiliates do it online instead of offline doesn't make it less worse.

If you think these speaker "scams" are bad, you either ignorant or hypocrite.
 
Ok

The speakers are the offer.

The bullshit about being over stocked is the landing page or pre-sell.

They buy wholesale and are selling them in parking lots, you basically called the cops on guys who were probably trying to make a living.

you do it on the interwebs they do it in parking lots. Same shit

I think it's the whole lying to peoples faces which makes it seem 10x worse.
 
I did this when I was back at home in Maryland for the summer from college. They are wholesalers who get a van full of products for the day on consignment from the warehouse. You have a set cost and whatever you can hustle after you cover your cost is your profit. The company consults lawyers to find out exactly what they can and cannot say during a pitch to avoid it being explicitly fraudulent. Some dudes just didn't give a fuck and would do dirty shows. But I interacted with cops at least once a week and never got charged with anything.

It was a crazy fuckin experience. The people who do this are pretty scummy - lots of them are into drugs, people with fucked up life experiences. Scamming people never felt good, but we actually did have decent products (there are many companies out there doing this with product quality ranging to good to complete shit). Made like 5 grand over the summer which was pretty good money for me as a college kid.

The "beer money" is a common line they use because it builds rapport. Another common one was "we're just trying to get a couple hundred bucks so we can go to the titty bar." Its a strange culture - hilarious industry jargon (e.g. FBD = foreign black dude). We'd do shit like in Super Troopers where we'd do throwaway shows with the sole intent of making your partner laugh. I had one partner who when he dropped the titty bar line would start rubbing his nipples. This + the look on his face when he was doing a show in front of a bewildered asian man was priceless.

lol, bet the old 8-track sounds great on them.
 
I did something similar right after I graduated high school. It's pretty much what cougarclaws said; speaker guys like to work parking lots and fast food places. Magazine people like to work dorms and apartments. The meat guys will work whatever. It's about as close to a pure hustle as one can get.

All are essentially the same setup; get an office/warehouse, preferably in an office park and run ads in the papers to attract people with little experience or otherwise qualified to do anything else besides stock groceries or work a cash register. When you bring in new people, you have to work them just as hard as you have them work people in the street. Make them feel really bad about giving up. Turnover is obviously high, but if you can keep several on, they will cover your cost.

A lot of groups will travel to keep from burning out their home territory. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to keep up morale because everyone is constantly telling you GTFO and getting kicked out of buildings by security. This is where someone will either quit, start getting wasted all the time to deal with it, or just turn shady.

No matter what city I was in, I always had a way of finding the 'massage parlors.' Catch them on a good night and you can bring in some serious cash. I was surprised the first time I went in one and saw they took credit cards (this was about 15 yrs ago). One place I remember, I'd sit in the office and hang out with the manager and a couple of the girls. He had a whiteboard with a big list of rules (don't be late, etc.) and how much they would get fined if they broke one. It was kinda odd being in the middle of a conversation with someone and they say, "hold up, I gotta go suck this guy's dick, be back in 10 minutes."

I ended up quitting when I realized the whole cash every day thing was probably not the best arrangement for me at the time, because it didn't go well with the liquor store every night thing.
 
^incredible. We had a girl who was notorious for sucking mad cock at our office too. We kept the number of dicks she sucked on the sales board in a separate column. I believe it was around 28 when I left. Yours wasn't named Alicia was it?

We also had people who went from city to city. I wonder if its the same company. SounDivision?
 
Atleast they don't prey on old ladies.. Alah Kirby Vacuum

They take those grandmas for like 3-4k for a $100 vacuum lol
 
This kind of shit has been going on since Jesus Christ was a teenager, brahs.

SBD (that's "Skinny Black Dude" for all you fellow rednecks out there) tried to
sell me a Pioneer box full of bricks once out of the trunk of a beater cutlass
in the parking lot of a Dennys in, oh, 1976 or so?

Fuckin box was COVERED in clear packing tape so you couldn't get a fingernail
under a flap to save your life- he was adamant that I take it and split, never mind
opening it because he was in a "hurry". Pretty sure I told him to SUCK ME, and he
got mad.

lolz.
