He just tried to scam me too for lowlight ghia parts. As soon as someone texts saying " I am the samba member" I'm suspicious. Sent me a picture of a previous samba ad from 2015. Used the name Jeff, number is 424-409-5324. _________________ '55 Black beetle 'vert Sold to Canada 8/27/20

Received text offer from an individual claiming to be Jeff for two Magazines I have being looking for. When I pressed him for his Samba user name, he would not provide it. Only provided an email for his PayPal account. Stated he was a Samba Vendor.
The phone number was previously mentioned in this thread: 720-710-4662. The email given was: [email protected]
Glad I checked this one out. Thanks for taking care of each other. |

Thank you for posting this. I received 2 text messages to my cell phone from "Jeff" @ 720-710-4662. One last night and one early this morning asking if I was still looking for a sunroof Fastback. Interesting thing is he somehow got my cell number which is not in my ad or my profile.
Anyway, I'll just block that number, but thought I'd post there to let others know this scammer is still trying his game.
Regards,
Tom _________________ '69 Fastback - automatic - 'Flamer'

About a year ago I started asking anyone who texts me to log in to thesamba website and use the email this advertiser button. It’s easy to copy and paste the message from one text chain to the next. |

He almost got me today, if he would have put in a little bit more work he would have got me for $50, but I knew something was fishy about how he was in such a rust to send me payment info. I would have wanted to see the actual frames, and also talk shipping price first. So Sorry Scammer Piece of Shit. I love how he glosses over me calling him a scammer and continues running his scam.

This same number just texted me in response to my “looking for a bay window single cab” add, claiming to have one available for sale.. glad I googled the number.
He’s going by John in the text I got.
Be careful out there.. |

Recently listed an 83 Vanagon Diesel on Samba, FB Mktplace and Graiglist. Got a text from a person named Robert Hasick. Said I should consider it sold, and would send a certified check. Sounded normal enough. Then said he would send a few more $$ to cover shipping. Hmm. I checked out the area code and it was from Wisconsin [number was 920-212-9328]. I called back, and got him on the phone and got a VM. He called back, and I could tell he was not a native English speaker. Hmm. Ok, I'll wait for the check. Got a text on Monday saying the check was on it's way. I was working and wasn't paying attention. When I looked at the text later, saw it was a Houston exchange [834-974-1445]. Hmm, really? Ok, I'll play along. Lo and behold, the check arrives. It looks legit. I look at the address, and it's from a law firm in Pittsburgh, PA [K&L Gates LLC]. I google it, and the law firm comes up, and the address is legit. I look at the bank routing and check that, and the routing number is correct. The check is drawn on PNC Bank. My BS detector is going off, so I went to the local PNC Bank, and asked if the check was legit. They said no. I responded to both texts and told them f**k off]. Just wanted you all to be aware. |

Sounds like the same guy (or a similar scammer)
I got contacted today by a guy named "John" from "Michigan" area code checks out 906-401-5076
Magically had exactly the door i was looking for.
Red Flags:
1. Improper grammer/english in texts from a guy named "John" from Michigan.
2. His pictures did not go through over text so he emailed me "from his dad's email" [email protected]
3. When asked for additional pictures he has thus far been unwilling to send.
4. Claims to be able to do a VW bus door with shipping included for $150 from Michigan to Seattle.
5. When I tried to call him he did not answer but called back, had a thick accent.
I'm waiting for him to request payment by Western Union..... |

Thank you for keeping track of this stuff. Just received text messages from a Robert Hasick 920-212-9328 offering to send a cashiers check. I searched here and found this thread. Thanks again!
