The white van speaker scam is a scam sales technique in which a con artist makes a buyer believe they are getting a good price on home entertainment products.(good example is the Damon Acoustics scam, police found logs of scammed victims names such as Ryan LaManque) Often a con artist will buy inexpensive, generic speakers and convince potential buyers that they are premium products worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, offering them for sale at a price that the buyer thinks is heavily discounted, but is actually a heavy markup from their real value. Con artists in this type of scam call themselves "speakerguys" or "speakermen", and usually claim to be working for a speaker delivery or installation company.
