Texted by 13854550137. I have a car posted on Craigslist. First I was asked if I would take a check and make sure it cast before they picked up the car…of course you NO. Then asked if I could pull a report for them for smart vehicle report.com. This is the second time another person is called and asked for audit Vin. Comm which again is a scam place. This is getting ridiculous
Listed my car on Craigslist and within hours I got contacted for a scam. Didn’t know about it and thought it was similar to Carfax. Person stopped talking right after.
Within 2 minutes of posting my car on Craigslist I got a text “Could you grab a car history at Smartvehiclereport.com”
Thanks for this web page

Type of a scam Identity Theft
As reported by others I, too, posted an add of craigslist selling my Jeep Cherokee. I received a text message the same day from someone asking if the car was still for sale. When I responded yes, they sent me a link to www.smartvehiclereport.com asking if I would use the link to get a VIN report. I had never heard of that website but a quick search (initially) did not seem to indicate any issues, however, after having (ignorantly) acquiring the report (which was in fact accurate) I called the phone number provided by my bank as part of the transaction. It was a Google Voice number with a generic recording. That’s when I found out it was a scam.

I had never heard of that website so I searched online. That’s when I found out it was a scam.
