I posted an ad on Craigslist to sell my minivan. I received the following email: Hello. I saw your ad and I wanted to speak with you. Does it have any mechanical issues? My Craigslist messages are hit and miss with getting through. I think they may be having some issues with their messenger. Lets make sure we can connect. Go ahead and shoot me a message at my personal email instead: AdamWood837(at)Gmail.com. That should be the easiest way to get a hold of me. Please check your spam mail folder too just in case. I think some mail has been ending up there also. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks. – Adam
I replied saying my vehicle had no mechanical problems.
Then I instantly received this message within seconds of sending my reply: 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:
http://cartruckcheck.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!
I think this is a scam to get me on the website. I did not go to the cartruckcheck.report website, but I could not find it when googling it.
