TL;DR

Linus takes one for the team by buying a pair of too-good-to-be-true speakers from a scam victim, then unboxes and tests them on camera to reveal how these fake electronics schemes play out. He walks through the box, website, audio tests, and even gets friends to weigh in—spoiler alert: they don’t sound legit.

Along the way, Linus breaks down the scammers’ playbook—how they lure you in with low prices, fake online stores, and convincing packaging—and shares tips on spotting red flags so you don’t end up out hundreds of dollars. It’s a fun, informal crash course in avoiding the oldest scam in the book.
