Description

I was purchasing a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, for the agreed amount of $24,000. My credit union wired the money to Pot Martos, LLC in Florence, Alabama to Wells Fargo Bank. This happened on Nov 22, 2024. I started getting red flags on the 23rd when they showed the paperwork and picture of the vehicle loaded in an enclosed trailer. They said the vehicle would be delivered the next day because the driver had to deliver another vehicle first. I could see there was only 1 vehicle on the trailer, which was the one I was purchasing. I called the Wells Fargo Bank, and they wouldn’t even talk to me about the name of the company the money was wired to. The vehicle was never delivered and they stopped accepting my call or  text messages. The website has been shut down. I have found the vehicle again under the website Driven Auto Mart. A police report was made to the Burke County Sheriffs Department in Morganton, NC. The Pot Martos, LLC is registered in NC using a fake address.
