VIN Report Scam Alert
I'm trying to sell a Hyosung GV650 (Korean cruiser) for a friend. This morning I got an email through Craigslist, asking me to run a vehicle history report because it was a long drive and the guy really wanted to be sure the title was OK. He asked me to go to vinjunction.us, buy a report, send it to him, and he'd pay me back Tuesday when he came to look at the bike. I needed to go to that site specifically, because his mechanic recommended it.
A little searching turned up that vinjunction.us is registered in Serbia, and that there's a current scam going on exactly like this. If I go to that site, and there are probably others like it, and enter my credit card information to pay for a vehicle history report, a guy in Serbia gets my credit card information.
