The Pennsylvania State Police have issued an alert to remind residents of the resurgence of the "White Van Scam".
According to Skook News, the con typically involves individuals selling "expensive high-end" home theater equipment out of their vehicle at a significantly discounted price.
The equipment is typically cheap, because, generally, it is poor-quality imitations of name-brand items.
The scam involves the sale of electronic home theater good from the back of an SUV or van. In an attempt to mislead the buyer, the equipment's brand name is often similar to well-known manufacturers.
Police say the scammers often target moderately trafficked areas such as shopping centers, gas stations, and bank parking lots.
