Hi there,
Just thought I would let you all know that Two young guys and a girl in a Dark Blue Ford Expedition approached me today at the bank parking lot. I listened to their deal and then kept telling them I don't have enough money. Then, ironically a Denver Sheriff pulled up and I told all of them good-bye. Well, apparently he fooled the cop too because about a minute later they drove off free as a bird. Sooooo, when I got home I checked online about the system and I come to find out I did good. I didn't get ripped off. Sorry that other people did though! Denver, Colorado at Chambers and 45th , in the Denver Fed Credit Union Parking Lot. Also, Temp tags I noticed on vehicle too.

Husband was scammed in Friendswood, TX for $400.00 they were driving a HOME THEATER van and said that they had an EXTRA on board and would sell to him for $400.00 instead of the original $1500 they normally charge. I agree with the other e-mailer "God Does See All" no one is perfect, but for those that are going around screwing people out of cash, get a real F....king job!

I got hit about 3 months ago. Probably because I had just gotten a new truck, and was now part of their target group. well theres $200 less towards the truck. at least it wasn't so bad as some other ppl. 2 guys in a white explorer, one a big faced beer drinker, the other a skinny rat with a goatee. don't usually see this stuff in norcal, i should have known better. if i had taken the damn things all the way out of the box i would have seen they were sh!t |

I just got scammed today in Ohio. Two white guys in a white van stopped me as I was pulling into a walmart parking lot. They made up some story that they had extra speakers and they needed to get rid of them. The showed me the magaizine and the speakers. I thought I was getting a great deal. They tried to sell them to me for 600 when they were originally 2500, but i told them all that i had was about 180 dollars. So we went to the bank and the guy asked if i would through in my car cd player. i said hell no because i was still making payments on it and it cost me 300 dollars. Then they asked if i would throw in my scientific calculator, but i said i needed it for college. I went home and went on the internet to check this out because it seemed weird. That is where i found this forum. I immediatly got into my car to see if i could find them again. I couldn't find them so I went to the police. Since i am only 19 the cop just thought i was dumb and iggnorant and that there is nothing he could do about it. Obivously this cop is a dumbass because scams are illegal. So if anybody has any information on how i can get my money back or how to find them so i can kick the shi! out of them in ohio, please post it. Thanks |

Just got scammed today in Sulphur Springs, TX on the home theatre which "retailed" for $1800. Two guys in a white van stopped me at a light. They made up the same story about extra speakers from an installation job. They also showed me the same magazine. They tried for seven hundred but I paid $300. I realized it about an hour after I bought them and went back out to look for them to get my money back but they were long gone. Anybody that has a recent address for them in the DFW are please post it. |

Hello there, just wondering whether anyone had information on people selling Dahlton speakers in Denver. I think I got ripped off today pretty bad. I bought two 1500 vi Dahlton ti speakers for $600...they said they were worth about $1500...have not tried them but I am expecting that I got fully shafted. |

This is unbelievable. I was leaving my college and stopped to get gas at the Sheetz in Frostburg, MD. A white guy in his 20's approached me and just would not stop about how great these speakers were. I turned him down NUMEROUS times and I told him that they were NOT Bose and they weren't worth anything. Well, after looking at the Magazine (which I checked to see if it was real, I had remembered HDTV mag was in fact something I'd seen before) I convinced myself that the speakers were worth around a grand. My plan was to buy them and then sell them on eBay for a little more: easy cash. I paid $750!!! I feel horrible and incredibly stupid. I don't know how those guys can live with themselves ripping people off like that for a living. I might not have had the common sense to push away the "deal of the century" but at least I can stand by my morals. Also, we can admit to our stupidity in getting scammed so hopefully it doesn't happen to us again. These people can only do this sort of thing for so long until it will really haunt them. There cars, everything they own will haunt them because they know that they didn't earn the money, they deceived people illegally and they might as well have stolen the money. You all say you don't want to tell anybody that you were scammed because you will look like a moron, but you might as well to save their money and make it harder for these guys to rip off people.
Props to all of you guys that were able to get refunds/ beat the living daylights out of them/ admit that we all make mistakes.

I just bought the Dahlton Loudspeakers KV 2500 ti speakers today and I WAS pissed. I had read on the internet forums about people paying upwards of 1500 for the speakers. I paid about 200 for em and I was hoping that the things wouldn't even work.
However, when I hooked em up, the things sound CLEAN as HELL! Hell, they aren't that bad for 200 dollar speakers. The joints dont even look half bad.
Apparently, the retail value for the speakers is around $150. If you paid more than that, you got ripped.
Well, considering the fact that I didn't need speakers, it was a foolish perchase, but I am impressed with the sound however. Maybe I am just ignorant to the wonders of high tech audio or something, but they are not that bad to me
PEace and love |

At the bank in Richardson, TX I was making my transaction and this dude screams at me and asks me to buy the speaker... I had no intention but I thought they were car speakers. Well when I got there... exact same story. He started from $700. I bought them for $200 + $20 for beer.
After reading all these posts I feel very depressed. I haven't played them atatll yet, and now I feel like throwing them away righnow.
I told the guy "I've never heard of Dahlton" and the he BSed alot and I got trapped.
I feel very stupid that I fell form 'em, but I guess they wouldn't have let me go without buying either.
This may sound stupid but can someone tell me how do I play them? I dont have an amplifier. |

Well, they've made it to Waco, tx. Same story: at a stoplight, a guy yells from a black SUV with out of state plates, asking me if i wanna buy speakers. he tells me that they're making a delivery, they have extras (ordered 4 speakers, got 4 sets, trying to get rid of extras), and showed me the nice, professional looking catalogue. He said they're going for 1500 dollars. I kept saying no, and they were pushy as h3ll. finally, I got back in my car to drive away, and the guy says he'll take 200 for them, and he'd follow me to the atm. So greedy-a$$ me decides that I can sell them on ebay or pawn them or something. So I bought the Dahlton speakers for $200 plus $20 for beer. 3 guys, one kinda skinny, one pretty big guy, and another guy who stayed in the SUV. They said they worked for some company in austin delivering sound stuff. Cr@ppy thing is that for most of the time that they were talking to me, I was thinking in the back of my head that the whole thing seemed strange. I still f**ing bought it though...
By the way, I got a pair of speakers if anybody wants some... tell you what, I'll give them to you for my dignity back. |

I knew in the back of my mind that it seemed fishy. I still think I got a pretty good deal over all ($200.00 for KV 1500 ti). Live an learn my friends... |

My story is the same as everyone on how I got scammed in Plano, Tx, The good news is I got my money back! I got a receipt and went to the address that was printed on the reciept. You have 3 days to get your money refunded from date of purchase. I got to the business at 7:30 a.m. and waited for them to show up to load the vans. They started loading around 8:15 a.m. Walked right in and demanded my money back. Don't try calling any of the numbers they gave you because know one will pick up. The guys that swindled me were from:
Empire Distributors
11126 Shady Trail #115
Dallas, Tx 75229
469-522-7444
These speakers are not even worth $50. Good Luck. |

Two young white men in a white van with Pennsylvania tag are representing themselves as making delivery and installation of high-end speaker system. I paid $258 plus $13 for beer for a set of Theater Logic T2450 . I tried the speakers as soon as I got home. While the speakers do work, they are worthless piece of trash.
This was in College Park, MD
I feel so embarrassed and stupid! I should know better.

I guess i just got hit, I was getting gas and some guy pulled up in a white van, i think it was a plymouth or dodge caravan. He had 5.1 systems in the back as well as towers all Dahlton, He wanted like $800 but i said i didnt have it and he showed me a magizine, and it said 1795. I couldnt get him below 200. SO i paid 200 and my friend with me bought a set for the same price, its a tower with a 10" woofer all black with a tweeter and 2 3 or 4 inch speakers on front, they actually preform very well with the built in amplifier. They crank my whole apartment without distortion. I was impressed i didnt even know they were fake. Im in glendale az. |

Just got hit in Corona, CA. Same old story: two guys in a late model GM SUV with an "over stocked" situation. Wanted $500 for the 5.1 theatre logic system, paid $250, and they asked for $20.00 in beer money. I didn't give them the twenty, but felt screwed after checking this web-site. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it's probably a bad deal |

Wow ... I have a lot of company here. Sh1t.
I got stung for $300 a couple of days ago in Austin for the L6. "mid-twenties surfer cut lookin guys" in a white Tahoe, I think. "Jake" and "Aaron." Same phone number somebody else posted, 290-4916. I haven't even bothered to dial it. Maybe I'll reverse-directory it and see what comes up.
They had a variant on the script others have reported though. They said somebody at the place where they bought the stuff made a mistake and last time it happened their a$$hole boss just kept the excess. They don't like him 'cause he's only two years older and he's got the SUV they were driving and an H2, so they |
