Dont know why i am asked for a review before actually viewing vin report. The website works. Haven’t had a chance to even see my vehicle make and model which is not promising for a accurate repo... See more

Deceptive purchase process
Deceptive purchase process - you think youre paying a one time fee of $1 for service then later you get a subscription charge for $29.95. NO answer from my email after 7 days.
Scam
This website just tells you facts about the make and model of a car that you could look up on Edmunds for free. Any facts this website gives you about a specific vehicle are entirely unreliable—it got the mileage on mine completely wrong and grossly underestimated the value of the vehicle.
In addition, it charges you one dollar so that it can get your card info, which it uses to charge you ~$6 monthly. You’re signing up for a subscription without realizing it.
If you want to get a real and detailed VIN report, go to Carfax. You get what you pay for.
I used the ONE TIME use and 2 months…
I used the ONE TIME use and 2 months later I was charged $29.95 per month!!! I emailed 3 times, with no response, for a refund, they will not return my money, nor will they give an option to speak with someone!!!
Ridiculous
Having issues with redirecting me to this page. I dont agree to having to do a review to access my information when I've already paid. Do I have to wait a day or two until this is fixed? Had to come to this page on my own
The reviews are FAKE!
The reviews are FAKE!! Automated. Bought. This is a SCAM COMPANY read Google reviews and BBB
SCAM
SCAM. They say you will get a report for $1 and a week or two later charge you $28.95. I was given no notice of this charge before they attempted to take it out of my account. I had to cancel my debit card and get a new one to prevent them from stealing from me. DO NOT USE.
worst auto report ever then billed…
worst auto report ever then billed 29.95 later for subscription. will never recommend.
I canceled my trial within the 7 day…
I canceled my trial within the 7 day window and they still charged me $29.95. Phone number is only automated no way to speak to a live person.
I don’t know how people put good…
I don’t know how people put good reviews but it’s a total scam, rip off, keep charging even if you send an email requesting cancellation
This is a scam
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.
VINseeker is a scam. Does not deliver what you paid for
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.
Bait and switch
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.
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.
After figuring it out wasn't bad
misleading
misleading - not free , i spent a lot time, in the end asked to pay.
Disappointed Experience
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
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
Scam
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!!
