checksure.biz is completely legit and has nothing to do with the whole thing!
It's a database of UK companies where you can order reports and so on. The scammer usually posts a company number of some completely unrelated company and probably thinks that this alone would be enough to create a felling of security with the victims. After all, who would spend money to order a report to check out the company in more detail? Many of those companies were dissolved years ago or (like in the current case) have nothing to do with car selling. The scammer just picks a previous or current company with a name that sounds plausible. "KFZ" means "motor vehicle" in German and so they used a company with "KFZ" in the name this time.
Once more: checksure.biz has nothing to do with all of this.
