OK, I have a 2-month use CarFax account. I have voluntarily checked cars for anyone who has posted requests in the last couple of weeks.

Sadly, someone today decided to take advantage of my generosity and run a tremendous number of CarFax reports.

For those that don't know/understand- whenever you run a carfax report, it is emailed to my address...

Whoever is doing this, please stop now! If you were intelligent enough to ask, I would gladly have run reports for you. But now you have forced me into a PISSY mood- and I now have to be on guard about who I help.

I have always provided everyone here with whatever info I can- even regarding my "Special Projects" (Taillights & Gauges). My goal in participating in this Forum is the have a friendly community with those of similiar interests- not to make a profit off you or to steal from you. Although I have an unlimited use for this two month period, I do still consider it stealing.

To whoever is doing this. Please stop. For those that participate in this Forum- I'm sad to say that you should be weary of helping too many people... someone will eventually take advantage of your generosity-as someone has mine!

Joe- you did warn me... guess next time I'll be more secretive!

Why just a feather? I say we stuff the whole chicken!

I hate thucking fieves with a passion! It's a shame when someone takes advantage of another person's generosity. Don't let it sour you on people in general, Rob.

Don't feel too rained upon. Same thing happened to me. Inbred bastards.

Sounds like what I did a couple months ago... I posted my login and password to help the Fiero community to all the lists and the forum... I got hundreds of e-mails, but I shrugged it off since I did get a lot of thanks.

If one person is just taking advantage of you without asking, and without appreciation... That's just wrong.

Thanks to everyone for your support... it does make me feel better about this community.

Too sad to hear that from this group. Always bad apples out there. I think you can contact them and ask them to change your logon info.

Not cool. Very not cool.

It is a shame that one person would ruin or take advantage of someone's generosity.

Sorry to hear about that. Some people can be such a#$^$^. Rob I hope you posting that responce for me did not let somone get your password. P.S. Did you get my pm that I sent?

Ok it was me. I like to run carfax reports for cars all the time. I think it is fun and time consuming. Dont worry I will only do it another 20-30 times and I will be done. Thanks

I hope you're kidding?

I do hope thats supposed to be funny.

Its a shame this stuff happens, but you really need to be careful as to what you post on a message board! There are always going to be people looking to take advantage of you out there, and you have to protect yourself from them!

When did you send it? I don't recall offhand.

I got in a pissing match with CarFax because I was running too many VINs through, even though I had bought the "Unlimited" plan. Of course, I was running anyone's VIN that supplied me with it, regardless of the vehicle. CarFax sent me a few nastygrams, to which I asnwered back just as nastily, and they backed off for the duration of my purchase period. I would suggest such a nasty gram!

Boomtastic... strange thing is that I've not heard anything from CarFax about it. Only one has been run without my permission since I posted this thread. Thanks for the suggestion- sometimes you have to define "unlimited" for companies like that!
