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.

Here are some red flags to watch for when buying online:
Unrealistic pricing
Pressure to act fast

Use a trusted escrow service or a reputable dealer
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
