I recently ordered and paid for a reconditioned distributor from Tim but his emails have been hacked and now i have no distributor and plenty of requests for money from a scammer. Can anyone out there get in touch with Tim so i can ring him and find out where my paypal money has ended up. Very disappointed.

many thanks.

Many of us got the scam emails, most likely everyone in his address book got one. He's aware of it and working to correct it.

I've been in touch with him via PM, so try that.

Give him time, he'll get it worked out.

Probably best to post in his feedback thread but he might see this thread.

His feedback:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80157

The scammers have been using his name and multiple other scammer emails too - I have received at least 5 scam emails from "Tim Barany" with various email addresses.
Hard to say for sure how many as they end up in my Junk Mail folder, which I don't always pay close attention to if it immediately looks like scam/spam

I got the email frm "TimBarany" requesting a "quick favor" yesterday. I threw it right in the trash without opening. You should too. NOTE.....this wasnt in my spam folder, it came in with regular emails.
