A collector recently fell victim to a Facebook Marketplace scam while trying to purchase a 1963 Corvette. Believing he had found the deal of a lifetime, he wired $26,000 to a seller who promised the car was ready to ship. Once the money was sent, the seller disappeared—leaving the buyer without a car and without recourse.

Unrealistic pricing
Pressure to act fast

Research the seller, check their background, and online presence
Always verify ownership and documentation before sending money
Whenever possible, inspect the vehicle in person or hire
