    Thank you for this video! I had a “buyer” request this report. After watching your video I told him he could print his own report and shove it.

    I’ve worked in the automotive industry for years, and have bought and sold many vehicles, and this scam was pretty tough to sniff out the first time. Luckily because I work in the industry I was able to offer a free carfax, and when they declined that and insisted on another site that set off the alarm bells. Very we thought out scam that’s going to trick a lot of inexperienced sellers.

    Yeah I had 4 people contact me about getting a report history for my vehicle. The funny thing is I already have one printed and have one to show the buyer when I see him in person but they still want me to go pay for one on their website. Damn Scammers!!!

    Thanks! I’m selling my car and this person immediately asked for a VS report. I asked what that was then they gave me the link. This was from someone showing a Michigan phone number yet I live in Ontario, Canada. They weren’t phased by me saying we can meet at the police station for any interactions. After watching your video I can see this would have been a virtual scam and no one would have ever showed up. Thanks for sharing this important info!!

    I havent sold a car in while, but am glad i did my homework. I just posted an ad for my car on CL and the amount of these requests is ridiculous. Thanks for the video!

    Thank You! We have received two of these demands this week on our Craigslist post! Thank You! Just knew it was fishy!

  • @user-lt4el4ns1o

    THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! It is currently happening to me right now with two different 'interested buyers' I am so glad I felt the red flag and researched this further. You're right, as soon as you provide the carfax, they stop replying.
