Scam

Completed information, paid for the report, never received the report, contacted the "support team" 3 time, everytime mail stating sorry for the delay, a senior manager will contact you. And that's all the "support" you get.

Foreign scam

Foreign scam. They say they'll charge $1.99, subject to terms of service you can't click to learn. Not up for that kind of adventure! AVOID!

Total scam - avoid!

They advertise car history reports at a discounted price, then charge you at a higher price - and they never send the report you've paid for. No email confirmation, no order number, just a continuous status note on their website that your report is 'processing'. I emailed them twice and got two AI-generated replies saying my issue was being escalated to a 'live agent', but of course I never heard any more from them. Even if you come across these scammers via a sponsored listing in Google search results, avoid like the plague as they only want your cash!

Scam

Scam. 3 hours later still haven't received a report. Also you cannot use a disposable card, which means they are trying to get you subscribed.

Obvious scam

Obvious scam. I have tried to use a one transaction virtual card, and the transaction was refused as they want to set a subscription payment.
