I'm trying to sell my wife's bike and I've listed it online in several places. Got a txt the other day and the exchange went like this:



Sounds like a UVIP, but when you go to the website, they ask you for $25 and your PayPal credentials. Once the money has been transferred, they leave you high and dry.

http://vinsuperinfo.com

Used to be:

http://vinenterprise.com

Scammers will probably change the domain name in a couple of months after this one has been flagged.

I've checked several reports online and typically the scammer will refuse a UVIP or CarFax report. Red flags here.

Seller beware!

Give him the Vin and tell him to run his own check

Meh, it's probably a bot and I'd be wasting my own time.

I hope you didn't actually give them your Paypal credentials!!

If what you mean is that you paid using Paypal, then lodge a dispute with Paypal for the $25. Include any references you may have found as to the scamming nature of this website. Paypal is very good at supporting buyers so there should be a good chance of getting the $25 back.

No, I didn't buy the report. I searched online and found reports of similar scams from the same name and area code. They've changed the URL a little bit, so I thought I'd just post this up on the Interwebs for the search engines to catalog.

Why oh why do people fall for this stuff. It's so obvious.

At least they weren't calling from CRA ?

There must be money in it if they keep on doing it.

It’s low effort for high reward. Send out a few thousand of those….even get a few % and it’s simple profit.

Same as the CRA, gift card, and Nigerian Prince. Cast a net wide enough and you’re bound to catch some suckers.

EDIT: Think I’ll start up some fake girl profiles and look for some lonely dudes to send me money. I joke.
