Classic Car Scam Exposed!

Scammers are going to great lengths to look like legitimate car dealers. In this video I'll peel back the curtain and show you how they are stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Anyone good at recognizing accents want to weigh in here?

Scammers only apologize for getting caught, that's all they're sorry for. They're not sorry for scamming. It's pathetic that they are impersonating these legitimate car showrooms that have worked hard to build a reputation. Thanks for going after them!

That fake website looks like one of the online car buying sites from gta5. Lol.

I’m kind of shocked the scammer stayed on the line for long as he did after you’ve basically exposed him. He was really trying to turn the tables on you.

I always tell them “I’m just down the street, I’ll come on over” gets them every time

My grandpa just fell a victim of a scam. One click, his all life savings were gone. He is an old man trying to get it together after a heart attack. Thanks for going after them Ben!

“We just took this picture” but also “they stole it from our website” 😂

I was shocked about the “American Classic Cars” scam stealing all those pictures and you finding the exact real place. They really are getting clever. But Ben’s always one step ahead.

I live in Glen Burnie, MD and Brown's Performance Motorcars was a reputable place for classic cars until they went out of business. The building still stands, but empty

Wow what a nightmare. I can't imagine sending money to a scammer like that, losing your hard-earned money and not getting your dream car. I would like to think I would never fall for anything like that, but you never know. It sure looked legitimate. Thank you for this video. I'm betting you have saved someone from a real heart-breaking situation.

We do pre-purchase inspections in Salt Lake City and have been dealing with this exact thing for many months. It always takes a long conversation to burst the bubble and explain 'if it's too good to be true, it probably is' (and I always have to "prove it" to them by going through this process you've explained well). Thanks for posting, I'll be sharing this with many.

If you can’t touch it or drive it, it does not exist says this classic car owner . Great video ! ! ✌

Bro really pulled a geoguessr to find the place with the church. Great work

You deserve a national recognition. You are doing what the Police and other related law enforcers are failing to do.

Thank you for the video! I was soooo close to being scammed. The seller gave me a sob story of her son tragically passing away. He just wanted thecar to go to someone who really needs it. NEVER EVER SEND MONEY TO ANYONE WITHOUT THE CAR IN YOUR POSSESSION. NEVER !

I live in Connecticut. I wanted to buy a muscle car. I found the car I wanted to purchase. Contacted the seller who stated he worked on an oil rig. His email low balled the price right away from $60, 000 to 25, 000. Why? Then he said the car was in NJ. Perfect I replied, I live in Connecticut. Pause. Then my oil rig friend said he just shipped the car to California. He said if I paid the $ 25, 000 he would ship it back to NJ. I was born but I wasn’t born yesterday. Scammers have infiltrated every aspect of civilization.

Most of the time when I see scams I think "How could someone fall for that?" but this one's actually pretty sinister. I could see a lot of people getting excited about the price and maybe not being familiar with photoshopping stuff or not being the kind of person that tries to actually research before jumping in. You're awesome for making all these videos. It's easy to just miss the insane variety of scams out there.

This is the most politest scammer Ive ever seen

Great work Ben Dover/Mike Rotch/Hugh Jass 😂🤣
