CarHistory.onlineReviews of carhistory.online

I agree with those who said the positive reviews were fake. I went to carhistorynevada.online which took me to carhistory.online where I did a search for a VIN number. I was asked to click on paying for $1 and after watching some crazy graphics of a bar uploading and doing a "search" it then took me elsewhere to download the report then it said I needed to create an account to download my report, then to find the report was pending. I then got a text message because they required a phone number. The text asked if I was satisfied with my report. I hadn't gotten one nor had I gotten an email. So I said no. After which I got an email saying they were having troubles with my vin and to check out a different site which also didn't work. I responded to the email asking for them to refund my $1. After a bit I got a bunch of texts and emails saying sorry for the inconvenience and that they saw I was enrolled in a volume discount package for 23 installments of $23.95 which they will refund within 3-5 business days and then close my account. This is definitely either a scam or a slimy way to do business and I discourage anyone from using them.

I see from reading other 1 star reviews that I'm not the only one scammed by this site. They offer a $1 car history but then "accidentally" sign you up for an $18.95/month payment plan. Do NOT give these people your credit card information. Oh, and they also said (after applying the charges) that they didn't actually have the information they told me they did.

This site is a complete scam. It leads you through a process believing that you will pay $1.00 for your report. Instead, without you checking any box to change this (there isn't even a box to check), it automatically signs you up for $18.95 for 12 months. A note at the top of the Payment page advises that this option is available, but there is NO PLACE that you as the user select to take this option. After paying you get a page advising that your report may not have been received (it wasn't), so "click here" to talk to someone to correct it. I didn't click - I am guessing that is where they council you into agreeing to the $18.95 charges. Instead, I used the Chat option and had the $18.95 charge removed from my credit card, which I am happy to say they did promptly do. So now my worry is the report I see from another user that they received unapproved charges 2 days after their encounter with carhistory.online POSTSCRIPT: SURE ENOUGH, 12 DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A FRAUDULENT CHARGE TO MY CREDIT CARD, REQUIRING THAT THE ACCOUNT BE CLOSED AND RE-ISSUED. P.S. I have screen captures showing the scam process the web site leads you through

I received a report with nothing but VIN number and the city it was built in. I was charged $18.95 when it was advertised for $1.00.I emailed company and was told I checked the box for a monthly subscription at checkout which I was never offered that option. I was told that it would be cancelled with no additional charges . my account was charged $18.95 then 2 days later my card was used in several other unapproved charges.
