We stand with the families and communities who continue to carry the weight of that day, and we are grateful for the resilience and unity that remind us of the best in America.

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.
This type of scam is becoming increasingly common in the classic car world.
Here are some red flags to watch for when buying online:
Unrealistic pricing
Pressure to act fast
Wire transfer requests
Lack of documentation
Tips to Protect Yourself:
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
