Vehicle Check Facebook Marketplace Scam

Scam Description

A scammer by the name of “Andrew Conrad” contacted me on Facebook Marketplace. He tried to pretend he was a car buyer and he was very forceful in attempting to get me, the seller, to purchase a “DMV report” or “car report” or “motorvehicle check” from his bogus website. He said he was going to pay cash, and would come out only once I paid for the vehicle report on the website he gave me, which was “automotorchecks.com“ My investigation found that both his profile and website were scams. The scammers have put al ot of work into the website of this elaborate scam, hoping to trick you into paying for a report, then they never come and buy your car. Screenshot below shows how they try to talk you into paying “$37” for a “vehicle report”, but it’s a scam and they never actually show up and buy your vehicle. They just want the $37.
