Linus Tech Tips (LTT): I Fell For the Oldest Scam in the Book

TL;DR

Linus buys a set of “premium” speakers from a viewer who got scammed, unboxes them, and runs through every step—from checking the sketchy website to hooking them up for the first test (and even putting friends through a blind listen). Spoiler: they sound terrible, look like cheap knockoffs, and come with zero warranty.

After the reveal, Linus breaks down exactly how these scams work—fake storefronts, bogus specs, disappearing sellers—and shares easy tips to avoid getting burned: verify seller credentials, read real user reviews, inspect packaging closely, and always pay via a method that offers buyer protection.
