Doesnt matter.
His address was well known a few years ago with signs on his street telling the public what a POS he is and nothing ever happened to him. |

He's at it again.. Posted an ad on Eugene craigslist yesterday for a '55 23 window, with an address in Portland.
Tried to get $500 deposit to hold the bus.
The cell number he's using is (213) 807-4714,
And the address he's sending people to in Portland is 13303 NW SPRINGVILLE RD. PORTLAND OR 97229.
He got more & more angry as the money didn't go through into his account, finally threatening to meet me at the gate of the property & kick my ass on principal for not sending the deposit! |

WOW! I was all over this car until I googled the phone number and saw this thread. I though it was somewhat legit since he actually picked up the phone.
Thanks guys. You saved me on this one. |

It wasn't Allen, but I got a text yesterday from a 720-599-2496 number trying to scam me on a car I was selling...had me send them an invoice from paypal and then they sent me what to the common person would look like legit emails from paypal saying that the money was deducted from their account and waiting for me to forward there shipper 1,000.00 via western union to someone in Dallas, TX.
I have since forwarded all the emails to paypal. _________________ I own a copy of "The Car of the Century" by Garwood. This means I am authorized to act like a twat in thesamba forums. |

When "Western Union" is in the mix, it's usually bullshit. _________________ -Greg |

Here is his phone number and address where he says the 1965 911 is.
323 557 4571
3701 edgewater dr.
Oklahoma City
He told me it is still sitting in the barn, even though if you google the address its a house for sale that clearly does not have a barn. Said he is showing the car today at 2PM Sharp |

As you may know, 323 is in Los Angeles - mid town/Hollywood.
3-4 months ago, a very similar listing was on LA Craigslist with a 661 area code number.
Wonder how many deposits he gets? |

Same ad appears on SD Craigslist. Here is my experience:
A recent ad yesterday popped up that sounds and looks too good to be true.
"1960 vw bus - $8000
needs full restoration complete inside and out I have the title please leave your number" The ad yesterday had a picture of a samba with the rear end clearly of a earlier bus, 56 or so.
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/4866379071.html
Today the picture is gone (ad is still up) and another ad was posted stating the original ad is a fake.
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/cto/4866457750.html
The seller then sent me a text today claiming:
"I'm showing the VW bus today at 5 p.m. I have 6 people saying they wanted so first come first serve. 31437 Larga Vista Valley Center. CA 92082"
and a text that it was a 60 and there was a title.
Here is the picture he sent me by text:
which is a modified version of this Samba pic:
The new telephone number the scammer is using is 818-660-3693 which is a northern LA County #. Watch out!!!!! |

Why isn't this guy dead or maimed yet? I imagine that there are a awful lot of folks out there who've been ripped off by this slug that are mad enough... _________________ I'm looking for these license plate frames for my fleet:
Coeur D'Alene - Lake Shore Volkswagen
Mission VW - San Fernando
Thornton VW - Stockton
Thanks for any help! |

I'm not sure if this was posted before, but here is a site devoted to tracking and catching Allen Alfiler and his scam:
http://www.allenalfiler.com/
Edit: Sorry, it was in the first post in this thread but it is worth repeating. |

It would be good to update that site with his latest numbers so it'll be hit if someone searches for them. |
