*** reached out after I posted my husband’s car on Craigslist. This is his first email.
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 at my personal email instead at- ***Â – that is the best way to contact me. Thanks! – ***
He then had me try to go to a fake web site and enter the VIN and our credit card information.
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:
***t
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!
