Selling car on Craigslist, emailed us asking about any problems. We had gotten a title check from another company and sent that to him. Few days later called to see if he had gotten everything and was he still interested. He emailed us with an exact statement as quoted on these ! We were just looking into doing it when I saw this article and read it. Reading the first one was like reading our email, then to see it almost duplicated verbatim ! Thanks to all who reported their experience ! Saved us !
Looked genuine, but isn’t
To be able to come ,see,test and make a deal for it face to face,i need the report so i can pass it to my loan officer and make sure he will allow me to buy it.I need the report because the loan company ask for it please go to https://www.worldtitlefax.com/ and get one. will not make sense for me to get one because i can`t re use it like you can , you will be able to give it to all you potential buyers , me on the other hand if will not be ok i will gave to look for a new vehicle and get a new report .I know is only $25 but if i have to run 5 reports until i find an ok report where will i be ?If the report will be ok you can consider it sold.regards

the only problem is that control rods have been used up, and needs to

I’m ready to come and talk over the details.
I also need to make sure everything is legit on the vehicle. Can you
provide a current Title Report?

“I’m interested and ready to come , see , test and make a deal for it .
I need something rather soon,but i would like to make sure you/vehicle and all is ok and legit.

I had exactly the same experience with the same email content from [email protected]:
“I’m ready to come and talk over the details.
I also need to make sure everything is legit on the vehicle. Can you
provide a current Title Report?
My loan officer has requested a report from
https://www.worldtitlefax.com/.
I would really feel more comfortable buying a vehicle with an official
Title report.”
Once I wrote “I won’t send any information until you take a look at the car” he/she desapeared.
However, my concern is I gave out my full name and email. What’s the risk?
I would appreciate all comments in this matter, please.
This is the second person contacting me via Craigslist wanting my email so they could communicate with me easier. Sounding very interested in my vehicle asking me to send them a car report that their loan officer required. As far as I can determine Worldtitle fax.com is a bogus company and the customer interested in my vehicle is doing a little phishing. Be extra cautious when dealing with Craigslist.

I was emailed about a car I posted for sale on craigslist and was asked to give my personal email instead of the automatically generated Craigslist email so that the emailer’s husband could email me later. I did (I have a separate Craigslist email address I use) and the "husband" eventually asked me to provide a "Title Report" on https://worldtitlefax.com/. This requires a $25 fee. I asked them to meet in person, but they refused.
Beware Scam! Received exact same email as other people here regarding sale of my car. Buyer wanted me to go to this website to buy a “title search”, went by the name Zachary with email at [email protected]
“I’m interested and ready to come , see , test and make a deal for it .
I need something rather soon,but i would like to make sure you/vehicle and all is ok and legit.
For that i need a vehicle Title report ,don`t send an old one or get something you find,get me the report from https://worldtitlefax.com/ is what my loan officer asked for and needs.I’d just feel safer about getting a vehicle with an official report because I’ve had friends and family get shafted before.”
Had the same experience, actually word for word the same emails as posted above. Not sure what the end game is, but just seemed strange from the start.
Listed a car for sale on Craigslist, Canada.
I had a feeling it’s a scam, as they mention taking a loan for a cheap second hand car.
The emails replicate the posts above, hence its a scam. Do not fall for it.
Here’s the conversation:
Email 1: I`m hellping my husband here. Please give your email address, he will
>>contact you today or tomorrow to get the Toyota Matrix XRS 2004 you
>>have for sale.
Email 2: I really like your vehicle. Can you give me some details about it before
I come to see it? Do you have any suspension problems ? Or oil leaking ?
Thanks.
Email 3:I’m interested and ready to come , see , test and make a deal for it .
I need something rather soon,but i would like to make sure you/vehicle
and all is ok and legit.
For that i need a vehicle Title report ,don`t send an old one or get
something you find,get me the report from https://worldtitlefax.com/ is
what my loan officer asked for and needs.I’d just feel safer about
getting a vehicle with an official report because I’ve had friends and
family get shafted before
Email 4:To be able to come ,see,test and make a deal for it face to face,i need
the report so i can pass it to my loan officer and make sure he will
allow me to buy it.I need the report because the loan company ask for it
please go to https://worldtitlefax.com/ and get one. will not make sense
for me to get one because i can`t re use it like you can , you will be
able to give it to all you potential buyers , me on the other hand if
will not be ok i will gave to look for a new vehicle and get a new
report .
I know is only $25 but if i have to run 5 reports until i find an ok
report where will i be ?
If the report will be ok you can consider it sold.

P.S if is about the money i will add the $25 to the final price
Email 5: i have click on the website and i have seen that is a secure one.Always
look for a green padlock to be sure that it’s secure!The https means
it’s a secure encryption.
P.s. Refrain from these scams. Report them ASAP.

I don’t know what the end game of this scam is but I put a truck for sale on Craigslist. There were a couple other obvious scams but this one sought my confidence in a couple of personal emails before asking to go to the World Title Fax company and get a ‘title report’ they could show their loan officer. The link they sent was official looking and in the end I just responded to their email by saying "why don’t I just send you the title and you can bring it back when you buy it?" ……………. I didn’t hear back.
Here’s the last email:

I was messaged off of craiglist by “nephew,” asking for my email address for his uncle, who is interested in the car.
After a general inquiry about whether they were any problems with a newer used car.
He messaged me,
“I’m interested and ready to come, see , test and make a deal for it. “I need something rather soon,but i would like to make sure you/vehicle and all is ok and legit.

Checking on this website confirmed my suspicions that its a scam.

I am trying to sell my vehicle by posting an advertisement on craigslist. I was contacted by someone who claimed to be interested in purchasing it. This potential buyer wanted me to provide a report on the vehicle’s identification number (VIN) and asked me, the seller, to purchase one for $25 through an unfamiliar website. Fortunately, I looked up whether this was a scam and the website is not listed on the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) as an approved data provider.

The person contacted me about purchasing a car I have for sale. He insisted that I use a specific VIN reporting service and would not move forward to talk about the car in any detail unless I provided a report from that site. Here’s an example email from him after I provided a Carfax report:
"i`m sorry , that you did not read my emails, i can`t use it .
the bank is expecting me to provide a VIN report from https://www.titlesfax.com for the vehicle i will like to buy in order to approve my loan application .
