TL;DR

Linus takes you on a wild ride after a viewer gets duped by “too good to be true” speakers. He actually buys the fake set himself, unboxes them, hooks them up, and tests their sound (spoiler: it’s terrible). Along the way you’ll see every step of the scam—from sketchy packaging and bogus websites to the hard sell—and learn how crooks reel you in and how to spot red flags.

After letting friends try the speakers (and fail to be impressed), Linus breaks down exactly how these scams operate and shares his top tips for keeping your cash safe. Consider it your crash course in “scam 101,” complete with real-world examples and easy tricks to make sure you’re not the next victim.
