Craiglist scam - usvinleaks
Just a heads up about a relatively new scam.
Had a potential buyer for my Toyota Matrix on Craiglist and I was immediately skeptical when his original subject line was "Toyota offer"
After a couple emails he says he wants me to go to usvinleaks and pay for a report. It's much cheaper than others. He will pay me back if we make a deal. Ya right.
From what I have read they steal you credit card info.
Just a heads up. Lots of craiglist scams out there

This is good to know. I am in the middle of selling a car too and received a very similar email.

It's really getting out of hand.
Looking for a place on CL and 70% of the ads are scams.
