Yep, receive a text from this number wanting to buy my car, but demanding me to use this VIN checking scam website that has quite a lot of bad reviews already. If you are selling on Craigslist, beware.
Craigslist text scammer. If you are selling a car, the person will demand you buy a vehicle report from the site they suggest. It is fake and they steal your money and information.
The "vehicle report site" recommended by the scammer is phony. The company / website named by the above poster was was created on 1/12/2017
They take your money and do not give a legitimate report.
They also harvest your personal ID info, and your credit card number (if you used that method to pay)

Bingo. There are other domains and phone numbers they use as well. They also send emails. As you astutely pointed out, the domain name is a new registration. Also, the physical address given on this particular website is not real.
