New text scam by a guy that calls himself “Ofer” and claims he’s from LA California. This guy has stolen the real Ofer’s identity including his drivers license which he will gladly text to you to try to look legit. I have contacted the legit Ofer guy and he’s aware this dirt bag continues to scam people using his name. The # is +1 (424) 245-2787.
DO NOT deal with this scammer! |

He’s back.
7207104662. Offered an 1987 vw Vanagon for $9,000. I found the same vw on eBay for 35,990. He’s full of shit.
Keeps texting me to complete the payment and he will ship the van.
Says his name is Jeff. Sent me pictures and videos of the van that we posted on eBay. Says he’s selling for a friend. |

Received this today from 720-710-4662. Calling himself Jeff from Denver CO. Parting out a beautiful kombi. I'm brand new to this vw bus world and I knew right away no one would part this out.

This guy tried to sell me a set of Tail Lights in August 2020. He replied by text to my WTB ad. At first did not give a name or where he was from but the texts were from phone number 303-569-9728. He eventually used the name of a real member of TheSamba and even gave me the link to an ad by that person to prove who he was. Wouldn't leave me alone, and even texted me at 2am. I finally had to block his number.
