Type of a scam Identity Theft
Craigslist motorcycle buyer scam. Potential buyer offered to purchase my bike with cash but was driving to me from a distance. When I asked buyer to call me, he said he had lost the ability to speak but would have his interpreter call before heading my way. I agreed and arranged a meeting place at my bank. On morning of the meet, he requested that I visit website bikesfax.com to run bike vin before he would meet me. The business address is not valid and phone call to business was a robo answer machine with no way to talk to a real person. Also their fee of $19.95 is much more than $5.95 fee websites of approved (National Motor Vehicle Title Information System) vin searches charge. Obviously trying to steal $19.95 from consumer and/or their cc# and identity.
