TL;DR

Linus got duped by a classic scam—fake speakers peddled online—and decided to buy them himself to show exactly how these fraudsters operate. In the video, he walks you through inspecting the box, verifying the shady website, unboxing the counterfeit gear, and running sound tests that (unsurprisingly) fall flat.

Along the way, friends give their honest reactions, and Linus breaks down each step of the scam—from phony product photos to non-existent warranties—and shares tips on how you can spot and avoid these rip-offs in the future.
