Nah, It's generates different names all the time and all from "non registered users". Just got 5 more..
Always nice with interest for old vw from the opposite gender, but they could be a bit less promiscuous. 
If any real female is asking about a part for sale today I guess it's going straight to the trash by misstake..  |

| If Michele is a registered member I would think, based on these recent emails, that the account should be cancelled. |

The scammers have been texting people with a message and website link that leads to a fake Samba login page:
Text message with a link to a "free" website:
Fake login page on that website
If you look at the address line at the top, this website is NOT from TheSamba.com
It's from "webhostapp.com"
If you enter your username/password on that page, they will steal your account information and use it to post scam ads here.

An email or a text?
There is a valid email that goes out on Mondays for ads that are about to expire and it does look like you have an ad that just expired.
(Maybe you deleted it?)
If you're unsure, please forward it to my email address listed below so I can check it out.

A scammer (phone # 330-356-7160) pretending to be Everett Barnes is texting site members and demanding their usernames and passwords. The scammer threatens to deactivate Samba accounts if the password isn't provided. Obviously, this is a scam and those texts should be ignored.
If you gave your information away, please contact Everett Barnes directly at [email protected].
I started a separate thread here:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=677091 |
I told the guy you aren't Everett. I said Everett has it together more than you... |

I do not know but I don't think they mean this site, I think there was another SBO site that went MIA a while back.
Possible info
