SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. They go through the whole buying process before asking for the report from vehicleinspection.uk website which costs £54,99. They even send you the link to the website to make the payment. Excuse they give is that it’s essential for them to have the report before they buy the car. Do your homework and do not fall for their scam.
Listed a car on AutoTrader and within minutes received a call from someone posing as a buyer. They insisted I pay for a vehicle report specifically from vehicleinspections.uk before they would view the car. A genuine buyer would never ask the seller to pay for a check — they'd do it themselves. This site is flagged widely as a phishing scam. Do not enter your card details.
It's a scam website. DO NOT PAY. Scammers reach people who sell cars and didn't manage to sell for awhile and count on the fact that sellers are desperate. They will ask you for a car health check saying that they will pay for it and will force you to use this website or another one "carcheckpremium.com". It's just a scam and no one will come to see your car. If you actually check the website company address, details and company register number there is no match. Please report the user profile to facebook (if contactacted there) for scam immediately.
Scam, same experience as other reviews. Fake buyer said would come for car today but wanted me to pay £41 for inspection. Luckily checked on trust pilot.
Also scammer tried it on with this payment site. luckily i checked.
So glad I read the reviews, listed car on Autotrader and within 1 hour recieved a call from an alleged interested buyer. After a few whatsapps he wanted me to pay for this report, I found a similar site where the same information costs £5 as opposed to £41 that this site charged. I refused and low and behold he stopped messaging. Be aware all.
Listed a car on Auto trader and within minutes i received a phone call from a man who was willing to view/buy the car today. Then started hounding me on WhatApp to buy a vehicle inspection through the link he sent. When i refused he started giving me all the lies under the sun. Glad i checked on here. He has been blocked and i have reported to Autotrader.
SCAM
Facebook marketplace scammers getting you to pay for it before buying the car.
A woman texted me on Facebook Marketplace interested in my car. The she asked me for a Vehicle inspection and sent me the link to this webpage. It was weird since in Ireland there is an specific site for these kind of reports. Looked for it in trustpilot, and as I thought, it is a scam. The person who texted me goes under the name of Alice Clarke. I assume it's the same pareson as in previous comments, but changes to different fake profiles
I had similar experience. Initially person was happy to buy my car but she was insisting from me to buy vehicles inspection report. It was suspicious when she rejected when I offered to check my car at the local Mot station. Thanks to trustpilot.com I read one review and that confirmed my worries. Be aware of fake Facebook account Eleanor Daoming that is used to contact.
They are scammers.
They will text you asking for this specific report on a car you're selling, but they're not interested in the car.
