Is Vinenterprise a Scam? Vehicle History Website
I received a text from (385)444-4582 with a link to Vin Enterprise located at vinenterprise.com. The website, vinenterprise.com, is new and was registered 45 days ago. It seems a suspected scammer texted my number that was pulled from my Craigslist ad for a vehicle I am selling. He set up an appointment and asked me for a "registry report" (not a common term used in Canada). He forwarded me to vinenterprise.com. I did some research and suspected it was not legitimate.

I assumed the best of the suspected scammer and got a much more trusted Carfax report instead. Suspected scammer did not accept this and asked me to use vinenterprise.com instead.
Vehicle sale location is in Vancouver BC and he used a (559) phone number ending in 2710.
Also suspiciously, when trying to confirm the meeting time to view the vehicle, he randomly responded that he is from California and did not have time to change his number (I never asked why his number is 559). I never suspected this to be a scam until he said this.
He is likely doing this to many auto sales that have phone numbers open and accidentally responded to the wrong text.
