Scammers at it again!
On the way home from work today heading south along Alexander Dve stopped at the lights to go under Reid Hwy. Had the window up, aircon going and tunes cranking. Then i hear this oi mate coming from a guy in the passenger seat of a WHITE VAN beside me. Wind my window down and ask what he wants. And right there and then at a set of lights waiting for them to go green he started to try and sell me a 'cheap good quality' home speaker/entertainment system. Hahahahahaha, after reading the posts on here a while ago, i knew exactly what he was on about. Basically said not interested mate. He persisted a bit then i basically said you'll have no bites from me mate. Lights then went green and as traffic started to move off i was looking to try get his rego. But he was maintaining speed beside me(even though i was purposely accelerating slow to let him get in front of me so i could see it), i am guessing so i couldnt get his rego. But i had to turn left so i slowed right down and he tried to accelerate really quickly away. Glad i still have good eyesight.

ACCC I would think...not sure
ACCC I would think...not sure on illegalities , I think they get around that by going mobile and not door to door ...

kiwi chick
yeah a month ago , in east freo , a kiwi chick and "cuzzy bro" tried a quick sell on me
in a carpark," yeah mate , we ars delivery drivers bro, the boss over ordered, good stereo
gear, cheap."
Anybody gettin sucked into that deserves what they get, dont forget the outrage
over that bermuda boat stolen recently, this stuff is hot, and if the five fingered discount lads
cant shift it , no point nicking it, so dont create a market , buy buying doggey gear.

Had a similar thing happen to
Had a similar thing happen to me, only i was rolling along at about 50 km/h at the time and these guys were yelling out their window asking me if I was interested in home theatre gear. I just laughed at them, turned out I had heard about the classic "white van home theatre scam" a couple of weeks before the event. Also had it happen to me in Karratha shopping centre carpark, only they had a ute instead of a van and seemed really laid back.
