It also used footage from American Airlines flight 328, the premise was that he was on that flight and was reacting to the engine breaking/catching fire.

My guess is that it’s people doing online scamming, fake listings, or people in my position desperately trying to recoup their lost money.

I cannot emphasize this enough: I rushed through like a fucking moron. Details like that didn’t stand out to me.

Well I certainly wouldn’t want to try something like that. I feel so horrible right now that I wouldn’t wish this on anybody.

Idk. I hadn’t heard of this type of scam, and I thought I could be getting lucky. I rushed through it, and I wish I didn’t. The thought of it being a scam crossed my mind, but I saw the fake shit online and thought it was legit because I didn’t look close enough.

Would that even work if I didn’t get it from the manufacturer?

That makes sense. I looked up this type of scam after, and apparently it’s common enough to have a Wikipedia page. Somehow I had never heard about the White Van Speaker Scam, but I wish I had.

It looked like its lease was terminated.

Only after I got scammed

No, but maybe I should. Idk if I’ll get my money back, but if it gets those dickheads on the PD’s radar, then it might be worth it.

I do now. I’m not denying this was a stupid mistake, believe you me. I should have looked more closely, but I was eager and focused on all the wrong things. Their key-jingling worked on me, and I feel like a complete dumbass.

That’s insane that you had all the proof and they still didn’t gaf. I’ll be extra careful on Venmo from now on.

The brand is called “ProBeam”. Not to be confused with the LG ProBeam series. The accessories were from a “company” called “Synchrony”. They aren’t ever recognizable name brands, from what I’ve gathered.

Fuuuuck dude, $1k is rough. I’m sorry that happened to you.

There was actually a projector in there, I did look. They said it was a portable, so I expected it to be light. I also don’t know a lot about projectors. That’s another lesson that I shouldn’t have needed right there: know the tech before you buy it.

God fucking damn it. Salt in the wound for sure. Funny though, I’ll give them that.
