Buyers wanting car fax checks

[Bigred67]

Hello All,

I have a car for sale via PH at the moment. There have been a number of interested buyers, but they are all demanding reports from companies such as: http://oneclickinspection.com/

When offering a similar report from another provider, they all seem adamant that they must have a report from their preferred provider, to the point where they start to sound like an advert for that product.

My question is: is there a know trend of individuals trying to sell car history reports by pretending to be a potential buyer? Or, am I just being paranoid?

It's a scam, don't go any further with it.

Scam. Anyone who needs a car check buys it themselves as is the normal way.
