I purchased a 1 time vin inspection for $1 but ended up paying another $29.95 and then $4.95. Below you'll see the screen shot.
They claim other sites charging $40 for a report are ripping you off. In the pay $1 checkout section they have a faint greyed section that says "$1 initial report $29.95 every 2 weeks" and they charge you $1 then moments later a second transaction for the $29.95. Then when you cancel they say they don't offer refunds.
I purchased the auto vin review from this site for $1
You can only view it online which is OK for $1 but you have to pay for downloading or printing.
The BIG problem is, just after I paid the $1 charge on my CC I started getting warning about rejected charges for 29.95 & 4.95
Beware of this company
I paid for a $1 vin report months ago. They keep charging me $4.95, $9.95, $14.95 & $29.95 amounts over and over. The weird thing is that it's always under a different name but always something VIN related. The last one was from Track The Vin. I had to cancel my card to get it to stop. Hopefully, my bank can investigate and get me my money back.
Wish I read the reviews before purchasing. This site is a scam. If you have chase it should be automatically declined as a fraud transaction. Make sure you cancel the card as well.
Was trying to lookup a vin of a Lexus minivan
Being showcased overseas
Then i get a message " paypal $29.50 charge being processed ". The text had a link
Pure scam from land of Cury…
DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK
I called PAYpal they had no charge
But they sre looking into it as phishing
Incident
Can we all ask God to clear away human garbage
Like these that lurk and prey on others!
I was supposed to pay $1…
It charged me 2x transactions for $1 each l, so a total of $2.
Next day, it charged me $30.
I bought the car thinking it had 130k.
Next day I seen a real report from AutoCheck, which there using a for of piggy back, to show you there info.
But the page says my car had no odometer problems… now I have a car with 200k+
I'm very upset. Hopefully I can refund the car, or I can open suit against this company if they exist. Either way I'm fighting till the end.
A bunch of losers that randomly charge your card MONTHS after you've canceled something you didn't even sign up for in the first place; even if you've never returned to that skanky website again. It is a total scam, a lie, robbery, rude, annoying, they should be in jail.
They don't send you what you purchased. Claim they'll refund your money and cancel subscription. Lies. I now have to get a new card so they have no access to my account
It's amazing that this site is even still operating. They have nothing to offer, and will only take.
These people are pure scum, without suspecting any harm, walked through that 1$report to get charged 29.95 after that, i first foolishly authorized the 1$ transaction which allowed them to charge me the 29
I fell for the same scam as others... advertised as $1 vin report, but I was immediately charged the $1 plus $29.95, AND I couldn't even download the PDF or print my VIN report. Fortunately, I used a credit card who's fraud department caught it right away, declined the added charge, and is replacing the card so that this scam site can't continue stealing from me. Thank you, BoA!
The same story. My husband went on and paid $1 on 7/14, then we got a $29.95 charge the same day! 7/15, we got a $4.95 charge. Will be calling our bank today, I refuse to be scammed!
They charge you $1, then immediately charge another 29.95 for a recurring 2 week "subscription"
Even better, NOT, you do not get access to it via the email you initially provided for the $1 report.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I wish that I knew how these scam sites are able to continue to scam people even with so many complaints. Do not give them or any of your information. It seems all of the VIN sites do the same thing. They charge you and then keep charging, and they make it incredibly difficult to cancel. I got zero information from the vehicle that I was trying to look up and they changed me $29.99 plus $4.95 (for who knows what) an then another $29.99 for a monthly subscription. I had to go to you tube to learn how to cancel it. Within an hour, it was cancelled and they refunded me only $29.99, and so they still managed to keep $35 of my money for absolutely doing nothing. I filed a grievance with the better business bureau and they never responded to them. BBB closed the claim due to the lack of response. Beyond frustrating.
Same story as every other review... wish I would have checked here first. Luckily my bank detected the fraud before they got any money. Just stay away from this site.
Complete SCAM. Had to replace my card as they are keep charging me every week for $29.95. Report them please.
Information is minimal, and they immediately charge you 29.95 for a membership service. This 29.95 is not mentioned on the website, just the 1.00 single carfax review. Should have checked out these reviews before using. STAY AWAY
Just like everyone else signed up for $1 then charged me $29.95 then $4.95 shows up,called bank and canceled my card and going to dispute it. Just wished I would have looked up reviews first.Had to give one star I wouldn't even give that if didn't have to
