AutoScamDB, a searchable index of reported vehicle fraud
A public database lets people search vehicle-sale fraud reports by phone number, website, email, address, or dealer name.
Field notes
AutoScamDB links identifiers across vehicle-fraud reports, allowing a visitor to search a phone number, domain, email address, physical address, or dealer name rather than relying on a single listing. The homepage exposes seller locations, contact numbers, domains, report counts, and claimed losses, while also offering state and scam-type browsing. Its records currently span 16 states, but the site says submissions are only checked for obvious abuse and are not independently audited.
