I got stumped on that same question. The only thing I could think of was that 
the respondent to the ad is an agent of the domain owner and the scam would 
attempt to gain credit card info (or inject malware) through the fake website.

So, what records does the scammer want, and what's the scam?
Do they somehow gain title to your car without payment?

I think there was a fee involved for the service, which is probably the scam.

[MBZ] Titlesfax Scam

2017-10-17 Thread Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes 
My son is trying to sell his 2015 RAV4 on CL. So he gets a guy who says you 
have to provide me with the records on the car because my bank requires it and 
they will only accept the report from Titlesfax.com. We had never heard of this 
outfit and the story sounded...more than a little...fishy. A search came up 
with nothing about the company except a CL ad out of Spokane saying that anyone 
requesting this is a scammer.

 

A "whois" gave the information that the domain was registered 4 days ago and 
that the owners made efforts to conceal their geographic location.

 

Anybody else heard of this type of attack against sellers?

 

Greg
