Hi,

I've been posting some ads here requesting for used good quality equipment.
Some guy responded with the email below. The specs sound amazing, but a
little search on the Net showed it is a scam. To be fair, after speaking to
the guy, it looks like he got conned by his ex-customer who used the
speakers as payment for some money owed. Anyway, enjoy the following reads,
and beware!

in a very profesional pakaging with a big
MADE IN USA tag on every side of the box ,the salesman even say the same
storry
its a error in the company purchasing department, they ordered 2 but come in
