Has anyone heard of scams stemming from giving out the VIN? I know if you look hard enough my VIN is actually on the forums from previous owners. Would love to get feedback on this.

Thanks Happy Holidays
I sold like 20 cars on Cl and I haven't heard of any vin scams.Very few people have asked for vins when I sold cars.

I usually can spot a scammer a mile away by weird things they say.
If it doesn't smell right just ignore them.
