Scam in Halifax. Guys pretending they are in a hurry - trying to sell off electronic stuff like surround sound, home theater systems, projectors etc...out of their trucks/vans in busy parking lots and by ATM's. This stuff looks very very legit. all the right looking boxes, packaging and a $MSRP amount painted on the box that is very high! (like $2700). However, these guys will sell for very very cheap (to good to be true prices) stating they are delivery drivers and the high end product was an extra put on their truck by an order mistake and all they want is to get rid of it. Actually, these electronics are only worth about $50 - $100 ! They have professional looking web sights endorsing them which are fake as well http://rolkolsen.com These brands are not even avaliable in stores!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Got me to, in Burlington Ont 19/5/2012.also know someone else who was approached but was smart enough to decline
My son just got scammed exactly the way you stated above...right by the atm he was depositing his paycheck into. Hopefully this $400.00 mistake will be the last time he's such a sucker. As a mom, I wish I could get hold of the a**h*** that took him. Oh well.
OK AMI ME CHINGARON CON $200 DOLARES LAS PERSONAS QUE ME OFRECIERON ESTE PRODUCTO ERAN AMERICANOS Y YO SOLO PAGUE 200, ESTAS PERSONAS CONDUCIAN UNA CAMIONETA TIPO VAN FAMILIAR Y CON PLACAS DE OREGON CUIDADO! AYA FUERA
got thier plate number: BMSB 955
i got offered from $1000 to even $300 instead of $2700, i was smart enough to refuse it.
Was coming out of Canadian tire in Alliston, Ontario and was approached by van and guys we repeatedly said no, then the opened the box showed the equipment and we showed us the ratings in a magazine and we called the electronics store and they guy said it was good, we paid them $130 cash. Tried to find the equipment on the way home on the iPhone and found this! Called the police to let then know so nobody else gets scammed, we then called back the place they said they worked for and they said the system is worth 50 bucks. They said look up white van scams! Next time I be taking licence plates no matter what. We are the fools that got won over but KARMA will kick their a?.

These guys are roaming around in San Diego with same product and story. They were driving a dark blue ford explorer with Washington license plate AEW4572. We were approached by a skinny guys with heavy tattoos at a traffic light. Glad we were able to avoid them thanks to the comments below!
i just got scammed today in san diego at an arco gas station in oceanside CA same deal two guys pulled up very fast just as i was leaving in probably the same dark blue explorer one guy got out about 5'10 dark hair dark eyes bout 24 yrs old kept insisting on selling me this rolkolsen r10 system i kept saying no i dont have no money i thought the deal was to good to be true seeing the msrp was $2700 the kid was so pushy that he picked up the box and threw it in the back of my truck i didnt consider buying until he pulled out a home audio magazine he said he got from best buy and showed me the same system in there for $2700 so i offered him $100 he acted like i was a crook savagely ripping him off so i handed him 40 more dollars he took the money and drove off real quick. i right away looked it up on my i phone and knew i got scammed.

Got my brother in San Diego. Sold it to him for $200. It was a home theater system Rolkosen r-40. Ridiculous! The sound is horrible and I believe the value is only $100. My brother has learned his lesson.
Cont.

Got me in Vacaville. I didn't realize that what they are doing is not illegal at all. Couple of tweekers makin a bit of money. One kid told me he was 25. dark complected dark hair and eyes about 5'6" the other a white dude with light hair and blue eyes. Watch out for the white suv Sacramento. The police can do nothing about these people.

2 guys in a minivan today in Ottawa, On. Licence Plate# FGX5138
2 Guys in a Minivan in Ottawa, On today. Licence Plate: FGX5138
I saw a news report about the same speakers being used to smuggle coke, apparently they found a large amount of them with coke in the subs
Oh yeah, they got me too. Never ever thought it would happen to me. In Los Angeles California, off of Fairfax and Beverly Blvd, the guys were in an SUV and they started shouting at me asking if I wanted to "have" the full speaker system initially with a 3-D Projector. They wanted $1000 but I told them I couldn't do it for more than $200. They were happy to do it, but as soon as I got home I reviewed the brand and saw Google light up with "SCAM" AND "FRAUD" all over. One guy gave me a Sob story and said his girlfriend was pregnant and all that, saying he was from Orange County, which is where I'm from. They offered the 5.1 surround sound speakers AND 3-D Projector for $1000, but the value was closer to $8, 000 on the box. When I couldn't pay $1000, they ended up dropping the price all the way down to $200. The guy I did the exchange with was named "Zeek" who had "714" on his LEFT ARM and a STAR tattoo on his RIGHT ARM. Saying he was from ORANGE, CA." Moral of the story, avoid these guys at all costs. Don't trust the brand name "Rolk Olsen."
hahahha, ya i know these fools they got me for 140, and I know zeek as well; [censored] bag, want more info text me [protected]
So I bought one of these. And I got the guys number. Can I report?

Je suis de Saint-Calixte, et malheureusement je me suis fait pogner avec cette anarque
J'ai acheté un ensemble de haut-parleur R-10 pour 300$..
Bon, j'avais déjà l'ampli et environ 30 minutes après c'était branché, ca fonctionne très bien
Mais après avoir été avertis trop tard par mon ami de cette anarque, je suis déçu depuis
Alors ce que je sais, VUS blanc, GM, plaque commencant par FGE immatriculé au Québec
Je me suis fait prendre aussi, à Lebourgneuf (Québec). J'ai payé 260$ pour un R-90. Ça fontionne très bien mais c'est certain que ça ne vaut pas 3, 200$.
WHATS DUDES #?
Fait fourer aujourd'hui pour le kit R10 pour 180$! 2 gars dans une minivan verte. Disent provenir de Gatineau et avec un kit en surplus.
These ###ers are in SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN (CANADA)
###s just made away with 300$ from me.. I guess I should have followed my first instinct, call the cops and not buy.
They r driving a DRK BL DODGE CARAVAN with Quebec plates fgx 5175
one guy had glasses and was wearing a dkr bl jacket, grey sweats and approx 220-230 lbs
the other one was in drk denim and red sweater and approx 210-220lbs
both men were approx, 6 ft with dk brwn hair.
Hey there, i also got duped here in saskatoon! 51st outside of a royal bank (of course) i managed to talk them down to $80 and like someone else mentioned the one guy was angry and referred to me as the one being a crook! Bahahaha. Lesson learned i guess:)

Rolk Olson is Big fraud and SCAM, don't let you get into it. I wasted my hard earned 500 $ . Cannot preach this anymore. DONOT BUY ANYTHING FROM VAN/SUV. IT IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING. CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS.
Got scammed in Ajax ontario, got the guy license BMSB 955... looks like the same game has been scamming people for months i got his cell phone too
Rolksen r-40 ... FAIL
I just got scammed too! There is a guy in a Ford Aerovan that approached me at the McDonalds in Cochrane today and with the exact same script. The stuff is all sealed, and professionally done, fooled me good! I paid $1500 for a Quantum Projector(another scam) with the projector screen, and the RolkOlsen R-15 Home theater. Watch out!
Marin County, Mill Valley Safeway parking lot... got me for 120$
I knew it was to good to be true. But damn the packaging looked legit, all sealed up nice. Guys gave the same "we got an extra" story. One of them had Black ear plugs. Clean cut, friendly, and writing all sorts of bogus info down for me to warranty. I checked the "Rolkolson" website. but not close enough. and i should have googled instead of going direct to their site. I would have seen nothing but scam warnings.
If i ever see this ### being sold again, , , , their will be an assault .First I will quietly walk up behind the person selling them, with a brick to the back of the head. Then while he bleeds out on the parking lot, , , im going to smash + destroy any partners, products and or vehicles that are associated.
to those running this scam...consider yourself warned. I don't care about 120$, I do care about thieving worthless liars. Ive seen you before, ill see you again.
My brother gave this to me. I'm not sure, but I think he said he paid $300 for it. The MSRP was $3129.00. Wow! But I opened the box and found NO digital inputs - no optical SPDIF input, no HDMI input, not even analogue 6-port RCA-jack inputs. How could it be surround-sound? The second hint that this was crap was that the amp was so light. "What's in this thing?" I thought. Probably the same as any other $50-100 amplifier - cheap made-in-China electronics that. Well I haven't tried it out yet. I don't think I will now that I know it's not actually a nice machine. Too bad. But at least I know I don't have stolen goods in my house - just cheap crap.
