Fraud Reported documents fraudulent vehicle and equipment sale websites in full: domain registration dates, phone numbers, bank beneficiaries, cloned listing photos, and first-hand accounts from the people who lost money. Every case file is public and indexable so the next buyer finds it in a search instead of on a wire receipt.
Searches every published case file by domain and by business name.

Pattern recognition
Fraudulent sellers insist on payment rails with no chargeback. A legitimate dealer will accept a licensed escrow agent or a bank draft with a title check.
A 30-year-old family dealership does not have a four-month-old domain registered behind a privacy shield. Check the registration date first.
Secure storage lots, vacationing yard managers, and units already loaded on a truck are all excuses to keep you from seeing the machine.
Transport insurance, escrow release, and customs handling fees requested after your money has cleared are a second extraction, not a real cost.
File a report with whatever you have: the domain, the invoice, the bank details, the messages. Every submission is reviewed before publication, and details that identify you are never published.
