The guy tried to convince me that Carfax was the real deal and this other company was just a cheap Carfax ripoff with bad information. I read online that the Carfax competitor had access to more vehicle history information on cars that had been sold at auction.

2022年6月27日 · CARFAX IS a scam I just learned the hard way So, a couple weeks ago I bought a used 2013 Nissan Versa in large part due to the CARFAX report the used car salesman showed me that read on a line item for a couple of months ago that the transmission was replaced.

2023年6月23日 · The buyer requested a carfax report after looking over the vehicle, to which I went directly to the carfax website and paid around $60 for the report (and there's a deal on 3 reports!). Printed a copy to PDF and emailed to the seller. I figured that even if the guy didn't buy it, I'd have it handy for anyone else interested.

2012年12月5日 · YSK Carfax is borderline scam Years ago, carfax was good and they used to charge like $20 to run unlimited reports using the VIN. Now they have gotten greedy and now charge $54.99 for unlimited reports, but that's not even the worst part.

It’s not a scam. I ask for it when I’m buying a used car from a private seller for that exact reason: to run a carfax report. It’s also sometimes helpful to just run a Google search on the vin as it can turn up things carfax missed. The reason? Sellers often try …

If you look into them, their websites all look the same, some even pretend to be carfax. The sites are very new and registered in the last month (one was actually registered yesterday). So yeah, please don't fall for these scammers. If it feels weird and it …

Yup complete scam. Anyone buying a car trying to send the seller to a random site is a scammer. It's the buyer's responsibility to get the car information and all they need is the VIN. And pretty much any site besides Carfax is a scam

2019年4月27日 · The Carfax for that came back clean as well. I know for a fact it was wrecked before I bought it. While I owned it, I know it had $6000 hail damage and was rear ended twice, all reported to insurance, and nothing on Carfax. Wife's vehicle also had $3000 in hail damage, also reported to insurance, also did not show up on Carfax.

2021年9月12日 · So I actually found that particular scam after this guy messaged me, just from googling "VIN scam," but, unless he plans to direct me to some site other than Carfax later, all he seems to be asking for is the VIN so that he can run a report. I'm a little mystified.

2021年5月19日 · Got two types of scam that I've stumble upon in 4h after posting a car for sale in kijiji with my phone number. Funny thing is I have a number from Ontario and my add is for a car located in Quebec city, QC, a french city far away. They both texted me in English, one from Florida another one from Ontario.
