Description
A glossy ad for a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille appeared too good to ignore: low miles, whitewalls, “no rust.” I asked for a FaceTime walk-around; they replied with a canned video clip that later proved to be stock footage. They pitched a “secure crypto option” for faster release to the carrier and insisted that titles always travel separately. I sent cryptocurrency, expecting dispatch within 48 hours. The portal showed “label created” but no carrier ever scanned a barcode. The longer I waited, the clearer it became that I’d been taken, and the Cadillac existed only in borrowed photos.
