Came across carhistory's website online and they offered an introductory car report for $1.00. Since I had been thinkiing about selling my truck I thought it would be good to see if there was any information about the truck out in cyberspace that I was unaware of. I recieved the report and it contained one item that I was unaware of, but missed several other items. They charged my account $1.00 on 11/25 from the state of Alabama as agreed to by me, then 4 days later they tried to slip through an $18.95 charge originating in Texas. This organization puts forward a legitament front and do provide a product, but they are in the business of scamming people who don't monitor their bank accounts closely.
I filed an fraud report with my bank and initiated an investigation into what occurred, and let Andy at carhistory.us.org know. All of the sudden he said that he refunded the $18.95 + $1.00 back to my account (unconfirmed at this point) and them closed the account. He only refunded the money, in my opinion, because I aggressively pusue these kind of internert rip-offs.
Thanks to Ripoff Report for making you service available to consumers so others may know about the behavior of a few unscroupulous businesses.
