Thank you, was just getting ready to go through the process and something seemed off cause 3 people had similar messages and I came across you video as I was doing research on these kind of sites. Much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this information as most of us never get the time to look into such intricacies while buying/selling! Its too bad the world is this way and such scams exist but then there are also people like you who are here to help! Keep doing the great work!
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words good Sir. This is what we strive for here at Virar Automotive. Contributing in our little way to make the world a more connected place.
Scammers are the worst !! Thanks for such an informative video !! This is great
Glad to be of some service good Sir. Scammers are the worst! Agreed!
Thank you. This guy is texting me now too. I did national recruiting so I'm pretty good at picking out area codes. And this guy's in Canada asking for a SVL report. Calling it Soft Vin Lab report
Hahaha. Soft VIN lab report. Gotta respect the creativity.
Thank you for such an informative video, I never even knew this scam exists! Thanks for letting people know about this, loved the video!
Glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for your kind words. 😁
Very informative, thank you.
I’m glad I searched for this scam. This was very helpful. If a sale feels wrong and unnatural, then it is.
Thanks for sharing. Glad I could help in some way 🙂
What a scam! Did not know about this. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome! Glad you found it useful!
YOU SAVED ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY BIG THANKS!
Thank you! Glad to hear that you found the video helpful!
Thanks for this video. It was super helpful and got those exact messages as you mentioned.
Glad I could help!
Thank you, sir. Pretty sure I'm being scammed with my motorcycle I'm trying to sell. I sent him a different report from a reputable company and he stopped responding. At least now I have a legitimate report for people who are actually interested in purchasing.
Sorry to hear that this scam is still going on! Good luck on your motorcycle sale!
Had I not saw this video this evening the exact thing you said was how these dirt bags wanted me to do. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing. Glad you found the video helpful and sorry to hear that this scam is still going :(
Thank you for the video. I’m selling my car on Craigslist and I received a text with the scammer asking when he or she can see the car, scheduled an appointment with me, then asked for a SVL report exactly that’s listed on your video. Total scam thank you, and btw area code 581 which is in Canada.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing this. We had also received similar messages and this information will help so many people who get scammed by such amoral people.
You are welcome. Glad you found the video helpful!
Very timely sir... thank you.
Glad I could help 😃
thank you so much... I almost go scammed, glad to checked this video
Glad I could help. :)
Yep, I fell for this about a year or so ago
I lead them on... and then my last reply to them is a backside photo of my dog taking a crap in the backyard.
Yep, I just listed a car and the first 'buyer' must have copied the pages straight out of the 'scammer rule book' just as you described.
Sorry to hear that. Whereabouts are you? If you are in Toronto, Canada area maybe I can help you with selling the car.
@@VirarAutomotive every buyer will ask for the VIN. where is the scam? and most if the time it is the buyer who pays for the reports, not the seller.
Watch the video. I explain it in detail there.
@@VirarAutomotive I know, but buyers are the ones buying reports, not sellers as much.
In my experience, it's mostly the sellers, especially private sellers who buy the reports when they list the car to assure the potential buyers that the car history is as they say it is and convince buyers to come see the car, since unfortunately a lot of sellers misrepresent their vehicles. Also buyers only really get the Carfax report at the last minute right before handing over the cash, because it's not feasible for them to pay $50/report for every potential car they like and are planning to go see.
But then again, this is just me speaking from my personal experience.
Thank you they tried that with me too.
Hope you found the video helpful in dealing with them!
Love the video, but the shirt even more! You have good taste sir
Thank you for your kind words good Sir
Meet Dave is into you lol
thank you very much you saved me
Glad I could help
Almost happen to me minute ago and i called him out on it. He used national vehicle paper then suggested i buy the report then send it to him called from Ohio did exactly what this guy said they would do.
Sorry to hear that you had to deal with these VIN scammers. At least I hope that you found this video helpful in guiding through how to avoid getting scammed by them!
Online inquiry to the ad I have on car gurus told me he checked my vin and said it had 74K when in fact it has 21K as I advertised, is this a scam?
Do you have a carfax report for your vehicle?
Thanks for saving me!
Glad I could help :)
Had 2 of them today!
Ohh wow! Glad I could help!
In middle of selling my car... and the buyer asked me today to send him the VIN. He seems genuine, but I'm not comfortable sending it
Sending the VIN is no problem.. that's public information. Anyone could literally walk up to your car and get the VIN. It's visible at the left bottom edge of the windshield.
@@VirarAutomotive ok, thanks
Sending the VIN is no problem, it's a public information. Getting some random vehicle history report and in the process losing money and information is the scam
See that's a different scam and a scarier one. But yeah, just knowing your VIN isn't an issue. I mean someone could just walk up to your car in the parking lot and get the VIN.
Someone showed up and paid a lil on car and left car I signed tittle over and they never left a car
You may have to claim that you lost the original title and get a replacement one.
An eyeopener..
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you for this video, you saved me some money. I had some SOB who wanted a car report from (soft vin lab ca) this scammer said the same script word for word.
Glad I could help
scamers with nothing better to do with there life. thank you
It's very sad, yes. :(
Sir is there a way to contact you?
Sure you can DM me on Instagram or Facebook @VirarAutomotive
Poll khol!!
Have to do it!
Its funny that an indian is explaining this to us
I resent the implication. I sympathize with you having had to deal with Indian scammers (I have been in the same boat as you), and I understand how that may have formed that judgement. However painting everyone with the same brush is not only extremely unfair but just personally limitative.
Exactly!, I got sold a cloned car by one of them, being using the car for nearly a year without me knowing, until the police knocked on my door and the car got taken away! this has turned my life upside down, it's so evil. never to trust them anymore!
Get to the point!
Lol watch the whole video. Or you will caught up in the scam too. That's the whole point, the scam lures you in and then knocks you at the end.
Says the indian guy 😅😅😅😅😅
Loool. Not sure if I should get offended by it or laugh at it.
Poll khol!!
Thank you 😊
