SCAM!
December 12, 2014

SCAM! They say it's $1.00 then charge you $18.95! Go with carfax, this is a joke and a scam!

Did you notice that every post has a canned response? Bunch of nonsense. I paid $1.00 for a vin report and suddenly I was getting $14.95 monthly charge to CARHISTORY.US.ORG which they claim I signed up for in order to get up to 25 reports per month. I am a university professor and have no need for 25 reports in any month or any lifetime. I reported them to the attorney general of Idaho today. Their vin reports may or may not be legit, I don't now. But their strategy to charge every month is a scam and nothing less than theft in my opinion.

Soso

Soso. I feel I was lured in with a $1 offer and had to opt out of a $180 fee. That seems unethical.

This website is very deceitful! If you are not careful, you will signup for a $180, one year unlimited membership. The reports seem to be thorough! Be careful!

I was skeptical at first, because it was cheaper than car fax and if wasn't sure if the website was legit. I am pleasantly surprised! It was great!

I was very satisfied with the report I received. It kind of put me at ease on my purchase of the vehicle. I just wish it would have provided me information if recall services were conducted on the vehicle. Other than that the report was excellent.

It was very simple and easy, but the part that says to agree or decline to the $180 part, you click on Decline so you don't sign up, It was slightly confusing, but past that it was very clear and well detailed. Worth the Two dollars I spent to get the extra information.
