PARAMAX Company had 2 white males selling the company's home theaters and other products from an off-white SUV, in a Best Buy parking lot in Riverside. The one that talked to me was called Brandon. but both were good sales person; before I knew it I paid $620 for a system that was not wireless, and a contact phone number that does not work. Note: MSRP $ 4,399 (7 Piece System) is the actually manufacture cost.

I really thought they were providing me with a good deal, but based on the RIP -OFF Reports this is an standard racket for Paramax and this type of selling should be stopped. And other consumers should be aware of this practice, whereas, I did not find out until I Goggle PARAMAX, but what about the other consumers that do not have internet? Well, if you analyze it, Goggle did not do me any good since it was used after the fact. I am still a victim of this racket.

After a proposed price was reached, these young men had placed the home theater package very quickly in my car, Brandon got in the passenger side of my car, and the other young male followed me, in the SUV, to my BANK to get the cash. Thank God they did not do anything else, but they were so out in the open with everything. Cameras were in the parking lot, and at the BANK, they continued to sell the products.

The price of the PARAMAX Home Theater - IM3 Digital Fusion that I paid ($620) could be higher than what other street consumers paid so a refund is requested, as well as, would like to return the system, and purchase a known brand name from a store that's known. Lesson learned.

 

Have not tried installing the system, because it looks too complicated.

Paramax home theater ripoff

AUTHOR: jeezyboy28 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 16, 2011

I'm just responding to the guy that was ripped-off by these two guys that were selling things out the back of a truck. First off you as an adult should know that anything being sold out of the back of any vehicle is possibly illegal and that should through red flags all over the place. Especially given the fact that the items may be stolen, but on the other hand two suspecious guys selling them at a value of $650.00 is even more suspecious. To sum this all up in this matter, you deserved to be ripped off if you proceeded to buy this and didn't ask them first for a license or a permit to vend out the back of a truck. Then you going the extra mile to buy it from them leaves you in this case wrong to begin with and in some states that is called recieving stolen or unmanufactured property and you could as well as those guys that sold it you should've been arrested. So, therefor if I were you in this case I wouldn't first post that to any ripoff website, because you look very silly saying something like that and secondly you actually should just enjoy the theater set due to the fact that it's a six piece any ways so you got what you paid for! To others being faced with this same situation you should as an victim play it off by going into a remote location such as a food market, neighborhood store or etc. that has an ATM available to just play it off and call the police. Then (if you're brave enough) go back out like you had to get the money stale a little and wait for the police to arrive. Secondly to even kill every attempt of the suspected sell just don't give them money in the first place.

AUTHOR: jetames - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, January 15, 2011

SORRY BUT YOU HAVE BEEN TAKEN - RIPPED OFF! YOU ARE LUCKY THAT THEY DID NOT PUT A GUN TO YOUR HEAD!

YOU BOUGHT A CRAP CHINESE SPEAKER SYSTEM WORTH, MAYBE $50.00.

THIS SCAM HAS BEEN GOING ONFOR OVER 20 YEARS- IT'S CALL A "WHITE VAN SPEAKER" BECAUSE THEY USED TO SELL THEM OUT OF WHITE VANS.

THEY USE A VARIETY OF NAMES - OLIN ROSS, KIRSCH, PARAMAX, DI VINCI - DIFFERENT NAMES - SAME JUNK. NOTE THAT THIS CRAP IS NEVER SOLD FROM A BRICK & MORTER STORE BECAUSE IT IS SUCH JUNK.

GOOGLE "WHITE VAN SPEAKER"

WIKI "WHITE VAN SPEAKER"

UNFORTUNATELY, THESE SYSTEMS ARE RESOLD ON CRAIGS LIST LOS ANGELES, USUALLY BY SOMEONE LIKE YOURSELF THAT HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF.

I JUST CHECKED CRAIGSLISTLOS ANGELESFOR THESE SPEAKER SYSTEMS - THERE ARE 8 PARAMAX SYSTEMS CURRENTLY LISTED TODAY! 1 KIRSCH, 2 OLIN ROSS - 4 DI VINCI, ETC.
