I Fell For the Oldest Scam in the Book

I Fell For the Oldest Scam in the Book is Linus Tech Tips’ deep dive into a classic online rip-off—unbelievably cheap speakers that turn out to be junk. After a viewer got scammed, Linus buys the same fake gear to walk you through every step: checking packaging and website, unboxing, hooking it up, testing the sound, and even letting friends weigh in.

By dissecting the scammers’ playbook—sketchy sites, too-good-to-be-true deals, weird packaging—Linus shows you exactly how they reel you in and, more importantly, how simple it is to spot the red flags and avoid getting burned next time.
