READ! Avoid this store for AUDIO installations/purchases
PLEASE READ!!
Hey guys, If you guys aren’t from Southern California, discontinue reading.
However, if you guys are from LA area, Orange County, and Pomona (around Rowland Hts, Diamond Bar, City of Industry, Fullerton, Walnut, West Covina, Chino Hills, and Hacienda Hts.) READ!!
I recently went to this stereo store in March to install my Sub and Amp. I paid with my credit card. About 2 weeks later, I started to receive letters in the mail about new accounts opening under MY NAME without my consent in different states! I was so mad. The credit cards were already activated and ready to use. On the bottom of the card it said their store: STEREO 1
My assumption was they activated credit cards under your name in different states, mail it out to your house, and they would try to obtain the mail before you would so they can use the credit card for whatever reasons. (It is a felony to start an account under someone else’s name [identity fraud] and it is a felony to tamper with US mail). Luckily, my mailbox is protected and inside a gate.
SO this is a WARNING to all of you guys.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE. THEY ARE VERY SHADY AND WILL USE YOUR IDENTITY TO START NEW ACCOUNTS WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
Right now I reported this to the three Credit Bureaus, Federal Trade Commission, and Better Business Bureau.
HOW TO PREVENT/AVOID IDENTITY THEFT:
1. Contact your local Bank and see if they have some type of Identity Theft Protection. Wells Fargo has one.
2. Contact the three credit bureaus and create a personal password so your account can only be created with this password (this prevents accounts being created online or through the phone without your consent).
3. Get credit reports often to check if any new accounts have been created.
Here is the address of the store:
Stereo 1
17259 Gale Ave.
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
(626) 854-9371
