Marketplace scam for vehicle sales

There are lots of people trolling on Marketplace for vehicle sales, saying they will come and pay full price - just need this report and send it to them. Total scam, the report is crap and they disappear. I said to the last person - we'll run the report together once you come and inspect the vehicle - no show of course. Check out their Marketplace history, and tell them to run the report themselves if they are going to pay for it.

SCAM

SCAM. I was contacted by an "interested buyer" for my used car advertised on Craigslist. He said he would pay cash in full but just needed this specific report. I said he could get it with the VIN provided and he made a long argument for why I should be doing it as the seller. I almost fell for it. It saddens me that people are comfortable being liars and cheats.

Same as what other users are saying

Same as what other users are saying. Contacted by person posing to be potential buyer requesting this particular report. I actually purchased the report because I thought it was legit and what arrived was just basic info on what the car but no history or real details on the car. When I followed up with the potential buyer I found that his phone number was from out of the country.

Same experience as others

Same experience as others. Had a private party contact me about a vehicle I had listed for sale. Buyer insisted that I pull a vehicle report from this website. I told him I would be happy to give him any information necessary to pull the report himself but he wasn’t too receptive to that idea. I decided to pull WHOIS on the domain and it’s only been registered since 2022 and the registrar is overseas.
