Victim Location 78154
Type of a scam Phishing
Same as what I’ve seen another post. Contacted me via email regarding my vehicle listing on Craigslist saying he was interested. I responded and got the following message from someone calling themselves Ted Porter. The conversation went. A completely different direction than what I responded in initial reply as I do already have all the vehicles history intact. Complete scam to get credit/debit card info.
“Hello, I was reaching out to you about your vehicle for sale. Do you have a current vehicle history report for it? If not, I suggest getting one at:
www.vehiclecheck.report
When I was selling my vehicle I got one from there to show people that were interested. It was only $19 which is half the cost of Carfax($40 or more). It will show if there are any issues with it. The peace of mind it gives for such a large sale is a bonus too.
It will verify that it has not been in any bad accidents, that it has a clean title and that it has not been stolen. There are so many scams out there. People are more likely to look at it with a report provided – it will definitely help you with the sale.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks!“
