Default Scammed and you have the plate numbers. what\'s your play?

So basically as one of my buddies leaves work (Home Depot) a few weeks ago he gets scammed into buying some speakers for $200. Two guys approached him as he got off work, and unluckily for him was his payday, so one of the only times he actually had that much cash on him. He had basically forgotten about it until yesterday and another friend called him and told him that he got approached as he was leaving wal-mart and gets their license plate before telling them no.

So now OOT I'll let you decide if me and my friends should try to do anything to these [censored]. We'll obv film anything we do and post it in OOT. Basically we need ideas on what to do and on how to go about finding them with just a license plate and vehicle description.

Explain to me how they got his 200 bucks and he didn't get any speakers? Sounds like your friend may be dumb.

At least he didnt buy an oven door.

[ QUOTE ]
At first, police couldn't figure out why thieves would break into homes and steal oven doors and leave other valuables behind.

Captain Phil Trent of the South Bend Police said, “This is an oven door wrapped up to look like a flat screen TV. They put some appropriate markings on it to make it look like it came off the show room floor and they’re selling it on the street.”

“It was sold for a tenth of what you buy in a retail store, which that should throw up a red flag and buying it out of a trunk of a car is never a good idea, said Trent.

A 27-inch flat screen TV for $250 was too good a deal for Leann Day's boyfriend to pass up.

Day said, “They needed a new TV for the pool hall so they went ahead and got it, but he came home and opened it up and sure enough, it was an oven door.”

Between the size of the package, the retail logos and the remote that came along with it, Leann says scammers did a good job to make the deal look legit, but it was an illusion and an expensive lesson learned.

I purchased some speakers out of a van when I was in college. Paid $200 for four speakers and they worked great for 10 years or so before I sold them to someone else for... $200. Had them hooked up to a 2000 watt amplifier. They rocked.

Pretty sure I got 'scammed', but it all seemed to work out in the end.
