I wanted to find all the options my vehicle had by searching the VIN so I could list it in the for sale add. I used Google to find a website that provides such info and vinhistoryusa.com was on the top of the list. It is listed as free in the Google search, however when you enter your Vin it requires a payment and says it’s $1. However they charge you $18.95.

Okay so I was looking for a free or cheap Vin lookup website and stumbled upon this one it said specifically that the product I was receiving was a vehicle report for the low price of $1. Now due to the fact that I have been looking around I knew that seemed a bit fishy but I decided you know what I’m going to screenshot this before I click enter just in case this company is fraudulent. Well what do you know as soon as I clicked inter I get a notification from PayPal saying that I just paid 18.95 to this vinhistoryusa.com. I immediately click on their chat button and told him what the heck it said this was going to be a dollar and I was just charged 1895 they say they’re going to refund me however it will take 3 to 5 business days to me that is absolutely insane especially due to our economy as it is right now I mean this was a very clear and blatant attempt to steal money from me and from anybody else who falls for this trap. now I know how this thing goes sometimes it’ll say like oh pay a dollar now for a trial and at the end be charged 1895 a month for a subscription however that is not what this was it clearly stated this was $1 for the report never even spoke of a subscription plan so I am putting this out there number one because I better get my money back sooner than later and it better not take 5 days because I need it right now but also because this company should be shut down these people should be arrested they are stealing from people and I just got done reading one of those other two complaints about this company and saw that they wrote back saying that oh shows that you’re signing up for a subscription but I’m here to tell you and I’m here to show you with my screenshot that no it doesn’t say anything about subscription! I’m also going to send a screenshot of the conversation I had with the chat agent which by the way I’m stunned I was even able to speak with somebody especially cuz it’s in the middle of the night but I digress this is absolutely outrageous and they need to be stopped and find I really needed that money right now I was doing a VIN check because I’m going to sell my car because I have no freaking money so for them to just steal it’s absurd and wrong please shut them down!
