How not to buy a Plasma
Some folks found this one out the hard way, but we'll recap it for you so you don't become a PDP victim. A restaurant owner was phoned from one of his establishment's suppliers; the caller indicated that he had a good deal on some 50-inch Pioneer plasmas. A few phone calls later yielded a rock-bottom price of five-grand for three sets. The caller scammer then suggested they meet at Sears where the sets were overstocked. Five g's were handed over for a Sears receipt, only it wasn't (you guessed it) legit.
When the restaurant owner went inside to get the goods, the scammer fled the scene as did the dough. Right off the bat, if I owned a restaurant, I would have questioned why Sears was supplying me with anything, but that's just me. Secondly, who has overstocks on hot flat-panel HDTV sets with demand going through the roof?
