First message:Scammer

I’m ready to come and see it in person, but before this I need to know few details. Can you tell me if you have any problems with it? Like bad suspension, oil leaking or something like that?

Thank you!

Second message: Me

Everything’s works great on it. No leaks, no funny noises. Did have a bad cam shaft sensor replaced about 8 months ago. It was covered under a recall and done at ***** GMC service center.

Thanks.

You have kept your vehicle in a good condition! Before coming to you to test the vehicle and close the deal with you in person and need the vehicle history report from https://www.reportvincheck.com/ get the personal loan. My lender in requiring this, otherwise I can`t get the money for your vehicle. I will not get it by myself because if it`s bad then I just wasted my money, but you can still use it however it turns out to be. I hope you consider this and get it. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you!

I have a carfax report for it that shows everything checks out ok. It’s a pretty reputable site that goes into more detail than the other “vehicle check” site’s. Banks/lenders usually don’t have a problem accepting them. I can print a copy out for you if your interested in test driving it.

Thanks.

Fifth message: Scammer

Sorry! I believe you misunderstood.. I can’t use a report from a different company. My lender requires a report from the website mentioned in my previous email.
