Scam Description
I offered a motorcycle for sale on CraigsList. I was almost immediately contacted by someone expressing interest who set a time to meet the next day. Then they asked me for a S.M.M report that I could obtain at www.searchmymotors.com. I paid for, got the report and sent it to an email address provided. The person then did not show up and has ignored all further attempts to contact them.
The next morning I was contacted by two other people who wanted reports from different websites ( www.AutoZenStar com and vinreportsdata.com ) and refused to accept the report I already had. I didn’t go to either website because I was expecting to meet the first person. After he failed to show up, I checked vehiclehistory.gov and none of these sites were listed.
So I’m out at least $35 for a useless report and possibly compromised my credit card info.
