Online scams targeting buyers of high-value vehicles are exploding. Scam Reported focuses on the three most-reported categories.
Fake dealers advertising John Deere, Kubota, Mahindra, New Holland, and used tractors at suspiciously low prices.
Bogus listings of Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes, and European classics — often copied from real auction photos.
Fake RV, fifth-wheel, travel trailer, and Class A motorhome listings demanding wire transfers or escrow to fake brokers.
Whether it's a tractor, a 1969 Camaro, or a used Class A motorhome, the playbook is the same: copied photos, prices well below market, urgency tactics, wire-only payment, and silence after money is sent.
Paste the website URL, business name, phone number, or email into the search bar above before sending any money.
