Report

Got charged $1.00 to check a VIN.
Saw a subsequent charge for another $1.00 that was pending so I thought wow ok maybe they just did a pre-authorize charge and it would be returned.

The next $1.00 was for "MONEY TRANSFER" and so was a $4.95 for "MONEY TRANSFER".
That description/note that accompanied the charge was when I knew SOMETHING wasn't right, so I froze my card thru bank app but I know this likely isn't going to let up.

Thanks to everyone who posted their stories and for the heads up. Not even gonna get my hopes up to receive a direct refund on the $1, $22, and $5 charges and see this being dealt with at the bank.

Ordered one (1) report that didn't tell me much more than the free vin reports. Was charged $1.00. THEN was charged $29.95. Contacted customer service through Live Chat, was told I had signed up for "biweekly service". I said I did NOT. No credit received, NEVER went to their website again, and today I received a NEW charge for $4.95. I wasn’t aware of. I told chat agent to cancel the subscription and person said it will be canceled in 3 days. Went on with my life and thought it was canceled but I am still being charged biweekly still ever since April 13, 2023. I then searched them up on google and found a website https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/vinhistoryusa.com#172 that there are others being scammed as well!

Website offers an alternative to carfax vehicle reports. It purports to be a VIN lookup service commonly used when shopping for used cars. The website says it charges $1 for your first report. It doesn’t say anything about more reports or a subscription. It says you’re paying per report. I visited the website only once, and viewed only 1 report. I was charged a total of 4 times (so far) over the course of 2 weeks, once for 4.95 and two more times for 29.95 each. The charges showed up under the following names: TRACKTHATREPORT and PERSONALREPORTS. The website says that refunds can be issued by calling their phone number 202 751 4073. There were no confirmation emails or information sent to me at any point during purchase, further charges, or after I used the “automated line” for a refund. I called the automated line again to “cancel my subscription” as the website instructed, but after entering partial credit card info to “locate” my subscription, the automated voice said there was an “application error” and my request could not be fulfilled at this time. Also, the address listed on the website comes up on Google as a “virtual business address”.

VinHistoryUSA.com claims to have $1 VIN (auto-vehicle number) check reports like Carfax reports. While they do give you a report it is not as detailed as Carfax. However that is not the scam. The scam is after giving your payment method they continue to charge it random amounts after the initial $1 charge. For me it was $29.95 and 2 days later it was $4.95. Beats me where they get the $4.95 from because their customer service claims that the monthly subscription amount is $29.95. I don't expect them to follow through with a refund and subscription cancellation. I don't want to deal with them anymore so I reported their fraud to my bank and am getting a new debit card (which I used on this website).

I see others online complaining about similar theft from this website/company.

They claim to be a vin check company - collect your debit / cc info and then charge your account numerous times over a span of a couple days their name changes on the charges from either " Track your gene, to Track your vin, Personal records " their customer service email changes consistently.

I went online to check and see if my vehicle had any recalls on it. When I asked Google it came up with an image from Carmax and below it was safercar.gov that showed the specifics of any recalls. So, I went to safercar.gov and was redirected to the vinhistoryusa.com site. The site says that it will charge you $1 to get a report on your car's VIN number. There is an *option to pay a membership every 2 weeks of $29.95. However, when you are putting in your card info & checking out, it says it's $1. But they charged (and caused my account to be overdrawn) $1 and also $29.95. When I emailed them to ask why I was charged the $29.95, they said that the web page did state that. And when I asked for a refund of the $29.95 they refused but said that they cancelled any other future "membership" charges. I told them that was a scam and is very misleading. Obviously, I wouldn't have willingly given my card info thinking I would be charged $29.95 instead of the $1 that it says just for a report regarding recalls. Which is all I thought I was requesting. And to be denied a refund is completely ridiculous and unreasonable.

I used a website to try to track the history of a vehicle I have. The site said the report was ready and to access it I had to pay $1, and then their membership of $29.95 would be charged every two weeks afterwards. So I paid the $1 and then I got an email saying they were not able to obtain the report. I checked my bank and they had charged me the $1 for the report they couldn't provide. They also charged me the $29.95 that their site said would not be charged until 2 weeks from now

I authorized $1 to purchase 1 report on a vin #. I was charged $29.95 by TrackThatReport8, $8.95 by FindTheirReport8 and $1 by ReportsPros. My bank cancelled the charges and my debit card. I called 202-751-4073 and was told all those belonged to Vin History USA & he offered to cancel the re-Occuring monthly $29.95 charge that I did NOT make. Scammers.

The website said that you can get a vehicle VIN history report for $1.00. It then charges you $29.95 for a 2 week subscription without any notification of the change in cost.

Was doing a VIN look up on a vehicle my daughter was thinking of buying and did not want to pay the outrageous price that CarFax charges to look up one vehicle. so I put in the VIN I was searching, then it processed for a few minutes. When it done doing it's thing, a window popped up saying the the report was ready. I clicked on the report and another screen popped up saying there was a $1.00 dollar processing fee. I entered my debit card info and I was able to get to the blank report. My card was charged two $1.00 transactions. One was from Budget Vehicle Repo Fl Miami, one was from Test Results 251 KY 251-280-1885. A few days later I was charged $4.95 from Test Results 251 KY 251-280-1885. Then on 3/23/2023, I received a call from fraud alert from my Credit Union, saying there was an attempt to charge my debit card $29.95. I had my card permanently blocked and called my Credit Union order me a new card, which by the way is very inconvenient.

I searched a vin number on this site and it said it returned a match. I was looking at buying a used bus on an auction site and this site said it was only $1 for your first vin report. I submitted payment and in no case did it show there would be a recurring fee of $29.95 every 2 weeks. It also came up AFTER I paid and it had already said it found the vin I searched- that said vin was invalid. I tried to cancel and their website requires you to call a phone number that hangs up on you or email them. I am disputing all charges with my bank.

Very similar situation here as other reviewer. Firstly I was lied by their $1 report and this is how they charged me for 3/2 service:
3/2 Trackthevin $1
3/2 Trackthevin $29.95
3/2 Budget Vehicle Reports $1
3/5 Budget Vehicle Reports $4.95
3/17 Findtheirreport $1

What's up with all these different merchant names and these random dates of charges EVEN AFTER THE CANCELLATION OF THE SERVICE was done immediately in 3/2?

TOTAL SCAM! STAY AWAY! AND REPORT!
