Went to this website to look up a VIN. After a free snapshot review of VIN, I was led to page for full report you could pay $2.95.
Small print on right side of page reads:
"Evaluate our service for the special price of $2.95 for a single report; you then will have access to all the members information and perks however limited to only one search at this low price. If satisfied, after 3 days the trial becomes a deluxe membership, which allows the customer to perform 4 searches every month for $29.95. Our fees will display as "car report" on your bank statement. Simply call (888) 613 1485 at anytime to cancel."
However, I never received ANY report as the system said the VIN was invalid when the prior page had listed exact info.
Tried calling the number to cancel. No answer. Strange voice mails with no company name, etc.
After 3 days I was charged $29.95 (as stated above) and THEN I finally got a hold of someone who was SO SHADY...
1) didn't tell me their name
2) said I didn't cancel so I was charged add'l $29.95
3) didn't offer to re-imburse me although I was NOT SATISFIED as their webpage was not working and never provided me with my one initial report
4) said supervisor(s) were 'unavailable'
5) didn't send me a confirmation email that I had indeed cancelled
What A SCAM! I believe it's just one guy who takes advantage of people NOT willing to follow up.

- Well, I thought at first I had just been mistakenly charged- twice @ 29.95 each. But after making an attempt to get this corrected it was very easy to tell that this was a scam. We too were told No supervisor was available(no matter when we called).Told that they were out of business,call back next week(??)All you have to do is go to website and sign up to get a refund.Which of course the website is now gone. We told him we would def. not do that just so we could be charged again ! All the same things as everyone else. I have contacted my bank and filed a complaint against this scum company.
