You didn't pay a franchise fee for the chance to sell these rip-off speakers, did ya?

Surprised that I received the initial letters within days from different parts of the country led me to investigate this situation which I had never before heard of ( yes, I am fallible ).

Much to my surprise this turns out to be a scam of international proportions ( Canada, U.S., Australia, U.K., Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Switzerland ). There are even web sites specifically devoted to exposing it.

Essentially it involves selling cheaply made, but impressive looking, home stereo speakers under the names:

Acoustic Response, Acoustic Image, Acoustic Lab Technology
Dogg Digital, Digital Dogg Audio
Grafdale,
Digital Pro Audio, Pro Audio,
Dynalab
Audiofile, Digital Audio 2000
Denmark

using a variety of ruses out of the back of vans and SUV's. Most shocking is that it appears to be some kind of franchise operation for cons with impressive brochures, van decals, and a bogus website to delude you into believing you have gotten quite a deal.
