The Office of the Tennessee Attorney General urges consumers to be aware of scam websites posing as classic car and heavy equipment dealerships. Even though scammers answer the phones, send videos, and even fake business licenses, consumers will be swindled out of their money if they fall for these scams.
It is recommended that consumers view the vehicle or heavy machinery in person before purchasing.
