Scam Description
Searching for a site to check a VIN for a used car, I found this site. I paid the $1, and canceled the trial subscription immediately. I used Apple Cash. Now the company keeps charging $29.95 for a subscription I canceled. I emailed 3 different addresses (contact@carinfostory.net and contact@carinfostory.com both did not work) and was told from “Jack Kenny” to click the link on my Welcome email (which I already did to cancel and had since deleted the email) or call 18776424336 or 2027514073. The 877 automated number asks if you wish to cancel then instructs you to enter the first 6 numbers of your credit card. Since I paid with Apple Cash, I did not have that info, so the line disconnected without providing me with a person to discuss this with. The second number has been shut off by Verizon. Please do something about this. I will dispute the charge to Apple when I am allowed to—I have to wait a week after it posts apparently. But this is a scam and this website needs to be discontinued and the owner charged with fraudulent business practices across interstate lines.
