Description
I was contacted by text with an inquiry into whether my vehicle, which I had just posted on Craigslist, Kijiji and Castanet, was for sale. After some back and forth the scammer "Lucas" asked for a vehicle report from www.motovinreports.com I agreed to do this and submitted my credit card to the website which I thought was legitimate. Received report that looked suspicious (spelling errors and strange language). Texted report to scammer who asked me to email it to him. I did not email it. Never heard back again.
