ELECTRONICS SCAM- Price Too Good to be True

According to komonews.com, there have been scammers trying to sell electronic equipment cheap in the Puget Sound region including Lynnwood.

During the summer months, scammers frequently hang around shopping mall parking lots, strip malls and busy gas stations offering electronics at ridicuoulsy cheap prices. The reason given for the low price is usually that the scammer needs to get rid of excess inventory. Most victims are young men who think they are getting a good deal. More than likely the electronics are cheap knockoffs that are not worth the cheap price.

If you are approached by someone with an offer like this just walk away.
