Fake website.
Fake website.
All information is wrong/generic.
Obviously so that it looks likes its giving a response for any reg entered.
(even a reg that doesn't exist).
The website blurs the supposed "information" to convince you to enter your card details... and get scammed.
This is from the following message after posting an add on Gumtree....
"Hi. I liked your car
Send me a PDF file with a full car history report
If the car is clean according to the report, I am ready to come these days and buy car, but first I want to get a full report
You can check for ex. here caruk.uk"

Scam, do not reply to their whatsapp message
As many others, I received a whasapp message from a Kyrgyzstan number saying: "Hi. I liked your car
Send me a PDF file with a full car history report
If the car is clean according to the report, I am ready to come these days and buy car, but first I want to get a full report
You can check for ex. here caruk.uk".
This is just another scam, do not give any personal/card details.
