A Seller named Daniel Friedman who goes by the name of Daniel, Daniel7, ABARTH356, Daniel Abarth Design, etc is selling fake copies of badges here on the Samba and on several other VW websites as well.

Here is the 1,000,000 VW Badge he is selling here on the Samba:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=214153

Here is a comparison between his badge and an authentic badge:

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


The real badge is on the left and you can see that his fake has many differences including the missing 2nd color on the Wolfsburg Crest and the lack of white on the ADAC logo. In addition, note that the colors are completely different, and the overall quality of the badge is very low compared to the originals.

He is selling several items (including several other badges) here and on other VW/Porsche websites, and I would suggest using extreme caution with this guy.

Has anyone either in the U.S. or Europe bought anything from him? I'm asking as he has a vehicle I am interested in, and I'm unwilling to part with any cash until I can have some feedback on him from someone who has bought a vehicle off him - to date he cannot do this.

PostPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2005 3:24 am    Post subject: DANIEL FRIEDMAN FROM URUGUAY IS A FRAUDSTER - BEWARE Reply with quote

unfortunately I didn't get a warning.
he advertised a Splitty on thesamba.com back in May time and I paid the deposit at the beginning of June to secure it. I had already been sent a number of photos before I handed over the deposit and was looking forward to a summer of VW festivals after being away from the scene for 6+ years.
It was advertised ready for shipping. That was in June. It only arrived last Sunday, the 18th of September. 3 months after paying for it. AND it was a completely different van, missing all the important things that were agreed in the sale like seats, roof rack, a working engine etc etc.
It took so long to get here because he had never done it before apparently and didn't realise how much paperwork was involved. it had to be cleared by the Uruguay heritage commission, local government and more. these now look like excuses.
He advertised the van he sent me on another VW site and wrote to them in July sometime to ask them to remove the ad as he had sold it. The van he advertised on the samba, which is quite different, was mine from the start of June after I paid the deposit.
Did anyone buy a blue and white VW split screen with US spec bumpers, 3 rows of seats, rust patch on the rear hinge and guttering?
I'm now desperately trying to get the van MOT'd so I can make the brighton Breeze show, perhaps the last big show of the year.
It was a frustrating and ultimately dissapointing experience, a 30th birthday treat to myself gone completely t*ts up thanks to Mr Daniel Bernardo Friedman of Uruguay.
Incidently I have a copy of his passport, his home address and phone number should anyone wish to get in touch with him.
thanks for reading and spread the word.
darrell.

Darrell, that's a terrible story. I hope you get satisfaction somehow from him on this.

Perhaps you could pass the word over on the UK VW sites where he seems to roam free with his ads without anyone caring?

The guy lives near me I havent meet him personally but if somebody HAS to buy something from his I can offer you to check out the parts/cars personally and send pictures before you buy. A second opinion (different than the sellers) is always good.

Daniel Friedman is at it again .... Now as HEB356 - This guy is selling poorly reproduced , fake VW australian Flying hood ornaments and is advertising them as originals .
* PLEASE let my stolen money be the savior of your hard earned dollars *
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY !
DO a little research and DO believe it . I knew this about Daniel from his horrible samba feedback , but I decided to give him another chance and he took the oppourtunity to rip me off .

Thinking all South American people are the same is as dumb as thinking all North American's are the same. Sadly there are enough dumb people around North and South to make life difficult for the majority of people.The good news is the majority of all people are good people.

sorry to get off topic but couldn't let that thought go un-answered
