Type of a scam Online Purchase
I put a vehicle for sale on Craigslist on Saturday.
Then Sunday night at around 11:30pm I got a call from
?+1 (570) 667-3349? I’m which I didn’t recognize and it being so late I did not answer.
They left no message.
About 5 mins later the text begin.
Which I took screenshots that I will send below.
But basically it is a person asking about the car and how much I want for it and a few simple questions and then.
I would like to see a vehicle report on the car.
I say "No Problem"
Then she says – vinlookups.org is the best place to get them.
Haha.
I never went to the website but it is very obvious the text was a ploy to bait me to go to this website to sell me a vehicle report for prolly a ridiculous fee and then I will never hear back from this person about the vehicle again.
Honesty it is a pretty slick scam and as u will see in the text messages they are actually pretty convincing and I would imagine ALOT of good people are falling for this scam because it is well played. (Actually it would only let me provide one picture below. But I would be happy to send them all of the conversation after I hear back) I am also completely fine with playing this scam out under your direction if that is of interest to you as well.
