Among the scams are a fake classic car seller named Leo’s Luxury Motors and a fake website for heavy machinery, which was made using the name of Equipment Express, an authentic forklift dealer in Lebanon, Tennessee. The office recommends viewing any vehicles or machinery in person before purchasing and following five tips to ensure dealings are with reputable sellers.
