We were washing our bikes today, when we were hit by the International Van Speaker Scam(click link). Hanrong and Sandeep fell for the trick and paid $360 each for speakers of dubious origin and quality. I feel kinda bad that I was the only one who did not get conned. I was tempted. But I just had a niggly feeling something was wrong and resisted all their attempts to persuade me. I guess I didn't like the story the men gave, that they were nicking the speakers off their mean Malay boss. I didn't want to purchase anything stolen. I did voice out my reservations to Hanrong, but I guess I didn't try hard enough, becos the greedy part of me felt it was a good deal. We should learn to trust our gut feelings more.
