yep same scammers only w/a car buying scam

selling car on ksl and first 3 offers were fraud. luckily my scam vibe senses were activated when they didnt even attempt to negotiate price and offered cash... only to push me quickly to the scam website on the list below. Who does that?

Two different numbers with the exact same message:
503-809-0370 and
503-563-0222.
The first text from both were pretty good, "Hey I am interested in the focus" then some questions about it. I replied with answers. The second message from both numbers were exactly the same, "ok im very interested, I sold my car last week. Can we meet on [specific day]? What time is best for you? Money isnt an issue we can go to my bank or I can arrange the cash. Just looking for something within the next 10 days"
Note: I left the punctuation as it was in the texts.
The first one I gave a specific block of time to meet. They ignored and gave me a completely different time, "Okay, I will be there at 4pm"
Then "Almost forgot to ask, can you send me the NWV papers?" I asked "What's NWV" They responded, "Its the papers your able to pull up as the owner on nationwidevin .com , sorry I forgot to ask your name? Im Johnny
I told them I wasn't going to pay for a VIN report and that the information is public so they can go to whatever reporting tool they want. He then accused me of being unreasonable to not give him the history of something I expect him to pay thousands of dollars for. I didn't reply.
The second one was exactly the same I just didn't reply after they asked for the NWV papers.

Recieved the same message about my car word for word as everyone above, claimed to be "John." Wanted me to go to carhistoryservice.com. told him the site is listed as a scam and sent him a link to FTC about vehicle history scams. When he wrote back today I decided to Google his number and low and behold this is the first site I come to. Same number, same message, same scam.

Okay that works lets say 4 pm tomorrow. I will arrange a ride down. Almost forgot to ask, can you send me the DVC papers?

Victim Location 97330
Type of a scam Phishing

Individual sellers who have a car for sale on online marketplaces will get a text from a scammer claiming to be an prospective buyer. The scammer will ask the seller to buy a VIN report from the scammers website with no intention of purchasing the car. In an Oregon case on 23-sept-2020, the scammer was directing victims to vininvestigator.com. The scammer's websites also claim false sponsors such as "best company", "top gear", and others. It is unknown how much personal information the website is trying to phish or if the scammer is just trying to get the victim to send money through Paypal. Either way, the scammer is posing as a prospective buyer then trying to sell a false narrative and a misrepresented service.

The scammer hosts several VIN checker websites from the same server.

That server would be :

A reverse IP lookup will show all the websites the scammer is using:
