https://www.snopes.com/articles/436483/vehicle-history-report-scam/ (Yeah, I know, but it’s the easiest way to explain it — https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2018/10/steering-clear-vehicle-history-report-scams has details, too). This scam’s been around for a while, but basically the site is owned by the buyer and he steers folks to the site for the $25 or so verification fee. Best case. Worst case: he takes the info and sells it. One of my neighbors got taken by it. Lost $500 or so as I recall with the identity theft angle.
Good to know. Thanks.
I am canceling my CC right now.
