I made arrangements with a seller of a used 2005 toyota matrix with 115k miles to meet at a church's parking lot on a saturday morning. I repeatedly asked the seller if he could tell me the license plate number number to the car he's selling but was ignored. I arrived at the appointed spot before the seller and when he pulled up in the matrix i immediately ran the plates on my phone using carfax and to my surprise and utter disgust this car had 240k on it. Yes this was definitely fraud about to take place especially with me having the cash on hand. I confronted the seller on the mileage discrepancy and he played it as him selling the car for his son acting like he was on the phone with him then he promptly left the parking lot after i took pics of his license plates front and back. Thank you carfax for saving my money from the crooks out they in craigslist land. I eventually found the perfect car with acceptable mileage lol. Cheers,
Patrick
