A commonly asked question is whether it is safe to share the VIN of your vehicle with strangers. Yes, it is safe and it is actually public information.
Anyone with the VIN can purchase the federal government database report or Carfax report. Your VIN is in plain sight and displayed on your car's windshield just like your licence plate. Anyone that walks by your car can see it.
In fact, the federal government database (NMVTIS) was created to prevent cross-state fraud and VIN cloning. If a car is titled in one state, a criminal will NOT be able to steal its VIN and use it on a stolen vehicle in another state! The database will show a hit that the number is already in use since it links all the states together!
Our NMVTIS report has the added benefit that it prevents the introduction of stolen vehicles into interstate commerce AND provides consumers with protection from unsafe vehicles (salvaged...etc.).
Data included in our NMVTIS Report:
-current and previous state of title data
-title issue date
-latest odometer data
-theft history data (if any)
-any brand assigned to a vehicle and date applied
-salvage history, including designations as a "total loss" (if any)
-comes with a Craigslist link that you can share
Remember to avoid replying to scammers sending TEXT Messages or calling you pretending to be serious buyers. The FTC and BBB are warning against this scam:
We don't work with these scammers and have blocked them so they moved on to work with other websites like epicvin, vinchecks.co, etc.
We only work with those that are upfront and honest about helping you sell the vehicle and we provide the same report recommended by the FTC above (NMVTIS Report) plus some extra bonuses. We have a 60-day money back guarantee. You pay us and we get the federal government database report for you. The same report all the other NMVTIS check companies have.
