Overview of the Vintool.co Scam

The Vintool.co scam targets private party sellers listing used vehicles for sale on sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Autotrader, and eBay Motors. Scammers search these classifieds hunting for potential victims.

Once an ad is located, the scammer will contact the seller posing as an interested buyer. After some initial conversation, they will request that the seller provide a vehicle history report from Vintool.co to check for any hidden issues before agreeing to purchase.

However, Vintool.co is not a legitimate history report provider. The site exists solely to perpetrate this scam. Victims pay the requested fee to run the report, only to receive a worthless, computer-generated file containing no actual vehicle data. Meanwhile, the “buyer” disappears with cash in hand and the victim is left with no sale and out the money paid for the counterfeit document.

This con is growing more prevalent due to the rising popularity of peer-to-peer online vehicle sales. Sellers must learn to recognize the scam’s tactics and avoid being manipulated into purchasing fake reports.

The sites on Facebook pose as a retail store called Chicos, but they are using various websites to pose as them and when I called the actual Chicos, they told me my order number was not a valid number, so I knew this was a imposter.

Received notice in email I had won a tool chest from Harbor Freight. I had recently shopped there so I felt this was legit. I was asked to pay

for shipping do I did. The next

time I viewed my bank acct

there was a deduction of

$99.97 from a company called

Zulsec. I called a number from

the bank statement several

times with a recording of

application error. Today I did

more digging which brought

me here .

In your questions you asked my email. The scammers used it so I am unable to enter it. I did enter a different address

Received an item not ordered in the mail from "Jane". Unsure how my personal address was obtained. Package had a hair brush and no packing information. The USPS tracking number on the label showed it was shipped from Jamaica NY through Fast Track Express.

The XGO3 watch is geared to parents who would like to have capability to track and call their child who are too young for a cell phone. Unfortunately, the watch only worked for a few days and then it is is completely useless. When attempting to reach customer service, there is no phone number and the only way to submit a claim is thru their website form. I never received confirmation after submitting my requests thru their web page so I searched social media and internet for an email. I was able to email my concern and request for assistance however the emails have been returned undeliverable. These watches are being sold all around major stores like Amazon, Target, etc.

Geebo is a platform currently advertising for a job opening within our organization that is not open. The posting is very similar to postings we have listed in the past, but removed once the position was filled. We have completed a website form through Geebo to have the job posting removed twice, but over a month later, it still is accessible to the general public.

I clicked on an Instagram ad. The website impersonated a legitimate site I had ordered from previously. I placed two separate orders, totaling about $170. I shared the site with a friend who then told me the site wasn't legitimate. I contacted my bank and had to have my debit card replaced. I did not obtain a refund. Today, over a month later, I received a ring in the mail from "XBR" in Hillsboro, Oregon.

The scammer promotes items on instagram and was promoting items as brand new Apple Airpod pros 2nd generation. The boxes seemed real and had real apple products serial numbers on them. When the product was opened, there were multiple identifiers showing these items were fake. They are selling hundreds of these fake Apple Airpods and saying they are real.

I order several religious sweatshirts and T-shirts on March 21st. They immediately deducted the amount from my account and then I realized that I never got any type,of confirmation email. I researched the name and address and it is a property/real estate for sale. Just ridiculous that it could happen and I was stupid enough to believe it.
