Am I the only one concerned, and am I being "paranoid"?

Definitely paranoid. The major part of the scam really has nothing to do with the VIN. It's has to do with how payment is handled.

You don't even have to walk by to get your VIN. We now how many cars were made and how the VIN works, so I can just pick a number that I know exists and go with that.

I also question the reason for hiding license plate numbers in pictures. Again, you drive it down the road and hundreds see it everyday. So, what is the purpose for hiding it??
