Be aware,
This one's a fraud.
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2312444
I was in contact with seller. Spoke on phone. He presented what seemed like legit ID & title. Luckily wire transfer was blocked by his bank .
When I suggested a cashier's check & meet at his place, he disappeared & took down his email address (together with 500$ I sent him via PP as an advance). |
How did the scam work? I ask because there is currently a 1970 Westfalia listed that we contacted the seller about. He suggested a 'wire transfer' which set off a flag for me. His return address is '[email protected]' - say it aint so!!! We were so excited. Did you go to the sellers home and view the vehicle?
Thanks |

First:
[email protected] is banned from the site as a scammer so that's a scam too.
Is the ad on this site under another username/email?
I want to ban them if that's the case
Please post a link to the ad, email me the info, or go hit report on the ad and enter some comments to let me know it's this scammer we were were talking about here
For the scam above:
The scammers typically have people either wire the full amount or deposits.
They keep the money, you lose it.
The scammers often have a fake photoshopped title and id photo.
Sometimes it's really obvious it's altered (at least to me), sometimes not.
If a seller is sending you a picture of their id, I take that as a huge red flag.
What normal person would send a photo of their driver's license? That's weird.
If you are concerned or have questions about a seller, email me or forward me the email(s) or photos they sent. I'm really good at spotting these scams. _________________ How to Post Photos

I wanted to say thanks and I am glad I googled [email protected]. This thread showed up on the google search.
I have been in conversation with "Dack Man" to buy a '69 beetle. Advertiser is wssmech.
Was emailing and his return address was [email protected], then the last email he sent was the hotmail and google flagged is as potential phish.
Here is the link the ad for the '69

very sad, I was looking for a nice 69.
Thanks all. |
