There is a new scam ripping off people that list their cars for sale. The supposed buyer asks for a history report like CarFax. Only they won't accept any reports telling you they don't trust them and give you the name of a report they trust. That they want you to pay for the report because they can't afford it or feel like if it was negative they wasted their money. And of I pay for it and can give it to other buyers. Besides it's less than a Carfax report.

I've had 4 of these scammers acting like potential buyers and the reports they requested I've never heard of. Didn't fall for it because I've always paid for my own carfax reports. 4 attempts is just too many incidents to not be a scam.

Told them that nobody ever supplied me with a history report on any of the cars I was looking at. So, if they only trusted a particular report, I suggest they buy it. And if they were interested in a Pre-Purchase Inspection, PPI I would happily give them names of shops in the area, but they would have to make the arrangements including paying for the PPI. Oh, and for their information, I hate scammers even if it is for less money than a Carfax report.

There, I feel better now.
Had another one try this morning. The only question he asked about the car is if it had been in a accident.

I know my CayenneS has a good report as I got a free one when I first listed with ebay. The free report went away when I relisted the car.
