I also got the same email when trying to sell my car on craigslist.
Email1:
Hello. I am interested in talking with you. Any accidents that you are aware of?
I have been having problems with messages going through on CL. They have not all been going through for some reason. If you can, go ahead and email me direct instead. I will leave my email below for you:
ToddClark783(at)Gmail_com – please retype that for it to work!

Email2:
Do you have a current vehicle history report?
If not, I suggest getting one at this website: AutoAdviceBlog.com
The report is really inexpensive, only $19. Alot cheaper than a Carfax, which is $40. The report will show any major accidents, title issues, if it was stolen, if it was flooded, etc.
You will get a lot more interest providing a report up front. Basically, showing that there is nothing to hide with the vehicle to potential buyers. It definitely helps sell faster.
Let me know if this helps. Thank you.

This individual replied to my auto ad on Facebook. Then referred me to get car report at a website. Seemed iffy, so reporting it and if getting car report will go through a well known company. I did go to site and enter my VIN number but didn’t proceed further. Seemed suspicious, so reporting it.
