Will message you via text about vehicles for sale, then ask that you visit a link included in the text for a history report which costs money and claim to buy the vehicle that weekend.
I put a truck for sale on Craigslist. The guy text me and wanted me to go online to do a history report. I told him I would get back with him. I didn't do the report (it cost money). At around 3:30 a.m. he text that he was wanting to come this weekend to get the car. The number registers NY and I live many states away from there.

That is the scam.
The "history report" is generated by the scammer, on the scammer's website, and the scammer receives the money you pay for the report,
