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

TL;DR Linus Sebastian steps in after a viewer gets burned by a pair of too-good-to-be-true speakers, buying the same phony gear himself to show you exactly how the scam unfolds. He walks through checking the box, vetting the sketchy website, unboxing, hooking up the speakers and even recruits friends for a side-by-side listening test to prove just how bogus these knockoffs sound.

After the demo, Linus breaks down the scammers’ playbook—fake branding, nonexistent warranties and suspiciously low prices—and shares easy-to-use tips to spot red flags. By the end, you’ll know how to avoid getting stiffed on your next audio (or any online) purchase.
