Beware, this is a scam!
I received a text from (307) 200-7177 asking about a vehicle I had listed for sale on Craig's List. This person was very interested, said he had no problem with the asking price, and even set up a time to meet, and asked me to send him the TIP Paper. I asked what that was, and he sent me a link to trueinspects.com. I did not click on link but looked it up and saw the prices for different levels of report. If I had been able to get multiple reports, I may have ordered this as I was selling 2 vehicles. But since it was expensive for just the basic vehicle info, I responded with the VIN number and said he was welcome to pull the report, or I would do a carfax and provide that. “Richard” texted back, very insistent that I get the report and he would reimburse me for the cost. He said “all the other sites are fake” then continued texting and saying he is waiting for the report to finalize arrangements.
I had suspected a scam, so I looked up the phone number and it was listed as a google number belonging to a Sal in Chicago. I ignored his continued text and blocked him, but also realize that he can look up info about my number just like I did with his.
Beware, this is a scam!
