This is a scam. Dont use it. The report is not accurate and it ends up charging you a $29.95 subscription fee you did not agree to after the supposed one time $1 charge to see a vehicle's history. I cancelled after i saw the $29.95 charge a week later. Now i have to deal with my bank to dispute this.
I purchased a report online and was never able to download it. First of all, why the hell do I need to write a review to get a report I already paid for? Zero response from Vinseeker as well since reporting it over 3 days ago. They also don't tell you the $1 purchase is for a trial that you have 7 days that will be $40/month. I immediately cancelled.
Scammers They charge you $1 and then charge you more!
Beware! Bait and switch! They advertise “Absolutely free VIN lookup”. Is definitely not free at all. You give your vin number they run a report, then they want your email address (so they can sell your info to every advertiser under the sun), then they ask you to pay for it!! I would provide the screenshot of their ad if I could but that’s not an option on Trustpilot when leaving this review. At least not from my phone.
I was automatically signed up. I was automatically signed up for the vinseeker service monthly, after I had agreed to a trial. I did not see, maybe the fine print was somewhere else,but in all cases I had to pay the $29.95 with no refund. Paid via Paypal and still no refund. Would not recommend. The report for the car was minimal and worth the Dollar. not 30.
I tried Vinseeker hoping to get a detailed car history report, but the results were very limited. The report missed some key details that report usually shows, like previous accidents or service records. It felt more like a basic VIN lookup than a full report. Not really worth the cost compared to others
I've tried to contact them. they never answered. I was charged for a subscription that I never had. I didnt even have an account setup and still charged. customer service is terrible. I seen stuff that said about refund if you dont like and I haven't had a refund
misleading - not free , i spent a lot time, in the end asked to pay.
Scam, no way to cancel, support does not respond, live chat does not work and actual report is pure rubbish. Reporting to my cc company as fraud. 3 requests to cancel within 7 day window and was charged in full today Avoid at all costs!!! Read reddit reviews!!! Wish I had first, crooks!!
like the flexibility and speed of response
Cheap and easy to use
It was a dollar not free and I’m being forced to leave this review to get what I paid for
Too much clutter before the report. I just want to view it-skip the AI nonsense.
Easy straightforward so far. But I hadn’t downloaded my report yet. But it did give me a good overview for $1 that I can’t get at any of the so called “free” checks.
It was accurate, fast impromptu
Well explain easy to understand
