VIN Check

I only have access to Canadian data, that vin # doesn't show up.
Small consolation

 

Are you asking someone to spend their $25 to get a carfax report on your car, for you?

If you are too poor to spend $25 on a Carfax, how can you afford a Prius, even a used two years old one?

This has to be the most humorous post of the day.

 

There's an import board that I'm on that usually has at least one person with CarFax at any given time. I'll see if anyone can look that VIN up.

Something is smelling awfully trollish here. <_<

1) First post
2) Wants to "purchase my first Prius (2006)"
3) Member profile shows 2008 package 9 (Latest model and highest package . . . troll fingerprint)
4) Wants you to send them something

Does someone here read Chinese? Because a Google search on that VIN comes back with a .cn hit along with the English word Carfax.

Are they fishing for someone to send them a copy of a Carfax which could (?) disclose personal information about the 'Good Samaritan' ???

Be careful folks, social engineering catches lots of disarmed folks off guard.

I think he's just cheap. The IP address indicated on the Chinese page is from Comcast in the US, so he just may speak Chinese. It looks like that topic is for asking for free Carfax reports.

The board software defaults to the latest year and highest package, so if the person registering doesn't set it that's what their profile shows. (2008 #9)

I doubt it. He's checking to see if someone has purchased a 30 day unlimited VIN check for $30 and can just have them run the #.

It's not so humorous. These types of requests used to be made on other car message boards I'm on almost daily. In fact http://www.my350z.com/forum/forumdisplay.p...mp;daysprune=-1 was even a forum dedicated to this. They don't allow it anymore but people still posts some of these requests on other parts of the board.
