Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

Well advertised website, accredited business account, for selling classic cars and trucks. Owner of the company sent us pictures and videos of the vehicle we wanted to purchase. Sent what appeared to be legitimate sale paperwork and the business account number to wire transfer the money for vehicle purchase. He gave us free shipping with a guaranteed date and time. He gave us the drivers number who was in bc intact with us in the beginning and then stopped. The vehicle was never delivered and the owner will not return phone calls, texts or emails. I called form a different number using a different name and they answered. When I inquired about my purchase they hung up on me. When I called back, they put call restrictions on my number so I could contact them. We have field police reports in Michigan and New York as well as contacting our attorney. This is obviously a well run scam business.
