Type of a scam Phishing
I’m trying to sell a car on craigslist, this person keeps insisting I provide a VIN verification / auto history lookup through ONLY one particular website. The site is not yet listed anywhere as a potential scam: it’s very new. Who knows, maybe it’s totally legit; but this person’s awkward insistence that I ONLY USE this website to perform the VIN lookup is concerning. I’ve offered a "carfax" report and they refuse, claiming their lending office won’t allow it.
I’ve been leading the scammer on for a few days (asking them personal questions, asking if they can come see it in person first, etc.) … and they just keep pushing me towards it:
——
To be able to come , see , test and make a deal for it face to face
, I need the report so I can pass it to my loan officer and make
sure he will allow me to buy it .
I need the report because the loan company ask for it .please go to
https://www.AutoSmartFax.com [1]and get one . will not make sense
for me to get one because I can`t re use it like you can , you will
be able to give it to all you potential buyers , me on the other
hand if will not be ok I will gave to look for a new vehicle and get
a new report .
I know is only $24.99 but if I have to run 5 reports until I find
an ok report where will I be ?
if the report will be ok you can consider it sold .
Thank You!
P.S if is about the money I will add the $25 to the final price

I see there is also bikesfax.com that is literally the same website / business model.
