Hello. Does it have any problems with it? Been in any accidents? I am interested in talking to you, but Craigslist messages are not always reliable with going through! Please message me direct at – BillStew53(at)Gmáil.com – that is the best way to contact me. Thanks! – Bill

I initially thought this was genuine and provided him the details. I even attached my car check report.

Second email.

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.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

By now I was suspicious. I googled and i was sure this was a scammer.
