Public case file archive

Before you wire money for an RV, tractor, or classic car, find out who you are really paying.

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

Four signs that show up in almost every case file

Wire, Zelle, or crypto only

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 domain younger than the business

A 30-year-old family dealership does not have a four-month-old domain registered behind a privacy shield. Check the registration date first.

No inspection, ever

Secure storage lots, vacationing yard managers, and units already loaded on a truck are all excuses to keep you from seeing the machine.

Fees that appear after payment

Transport insurance, escrow release, and customs handling fees requested after your money has cleared are a second extraction, not a real cost.
