CarBluff Scan

Scan the car listing you're viewing for scam risk and deal quality. Nothing runs until you click.

Check a used-car listing for scam risk before you ever message the seller. CarBluff Scan works on car listings on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, AutoTrader, and Cars.com. Open a listing, click the CarBluff icon, and it scores the listing from 0 to 100 for scam risk (and, on the Unlimited plan, deal quality), then shows you the exact red flags it found: deposit-before-viewing requests, shipping or off-platform stories, prices that are too good to be true, branded (salvage or rebuilt) titles, down-payment prices dressed up as the full price, copy-pasted description patterns, and more. How it works: Nothing is scored until you click. There is no background scanning and no feed monitoring. Scoring happens on your device. The listing's title, price, description, and location are analyzed right in your browser and are never sent to CarBluff or anyone else. The only thing sent to carbluff.com is the email and token that confirm your subscription, plus a quick safety check. The optional on-listing badge (on by default, turn it off any time in Settings): When you open a car listing on a supported site, CarBluff can show a small "Check this listing with CarBluff" badge near the title and light up its toolbar icon, so you know the page can be scanned. To do that it reads only the visible text of that one listing page, in your browser, to recognize that it is a car listing. It sends nothing anywhere and scores nothing. The scan itself still only runs when you click "Scan This Listing." Two independent switches in Settings let you turn either off. With both off, the extension does nothing until you open it yourself. What it does NOT do: it does not read your feed, other listings, your messages, your contacts, your cookies, or your browser storage. CarBluff Scan is part of the CarBluff Unlimited plan.
