Well folks, I also got one of those random PM's about that free OBD2 scanner, So I rolled the dice and gave them my TGO userid and one of my business address to be safe


*Keep in mind I DID NOT send any $$$, CC # or personal info !!!





And I got this today in the mail !!!

 

And I trash canned my email from them. You probably plug it in and it hacks your car computer and emails your bank some eronious transfer # and all your mony is drained out of your bank account.......I can't take that chance.....JK!
Cool, let us know how it works out!!

 

plug it in and your car is gonna tell you about a prince looking to give you money, just gotta give him an account to put it in lol

 

I think we should just pay people for their work. Safer that way!

 

You guys are funny lol

The unit seems legit !! It came from a Amazon dist center in KY in a amazon yellow envelope ???

And it seems to have VERY good reviews on Amazon !!

Just got mine today. It does not compare to my snap on verus edge but it's free!!!

 

How did you get it?

 

There are some emails floating around the internet offering to send them for free. These only work on OBDII compliant cars so 1996 and newer ECMs. It won't work on stock thirdgens.

 

Old shop I used to work in had a Launch commercial grade one. Worst scanner I've ever used in my life. Just stay clear of Launch stuff unless it's free.

 

Guess I shouldn't have deleted that email.

 

Hate to have to rain on your parade buuuut you can't trust amazon reviews wholly anymore. There are dozens if not hundreds of "secret" amazon review groups that you can join. You have to be invited but once you're a part of it there are tons of sellers with products they would like reviewed. You message the seller and say you're interested in X product(s) to review. They give you a special code or number or message to put in a box at checkout. You purchase the product from them and "review" it (some groups or sellers require you leave a 5 star review and others it's just 3 or more) and then they turn around and refund your purchase after the review is posted. You keep the merchandise. My wife had received well over $1000 worth of merchandise before Amazon ousted her. I got her to join a car/mechanical/tool group at the end, they were offering stuff like fuel injectors, LED car and garage lighting, Soldering tools, basic hand tools, basic automotive test equipment. Probably a safe bet that this scanner has dozens of fake reviews.

 

I bought stuff for my welder and they offered free consumables if I left a 5 star review, I went to the review section and all the reviews were 5 stars and said something along the lines of, "I'm only doing this for the free consumables" lol
