I received a call responding to my want ad for an Isky camshaft, the guy said he had the cam I needed and introduced himself as Spencervee. Was adamant that we make a deal ASAP, as it was a hard to find part and someone else wanted it for $200 so I had to send him $250 today. Now, Spencerfvee is a long time samba member, and he and I have exchanged some messages in the past, and the tone of the conversation was nothing like any of my messages with the real Spencer. I didn't call him out, but asked for some detailed pics to waste time and see what he would do. . He sent some pics, but of a later 4 bolt cam not a 36hp cam, and he stopped responding when I asked for pics of the # stamped on the drive end. By this time I had searched Samba and found the # listed on this thread from 2015, so someone's been using the # to scam people for 6 years.

So, in case scam emails and texts weren't bad enough, now they will call you claiming to be real Samba members that you may be familiar with. _________________ modok wrote:
