Verified Dealer Seal

Dealers who pass verification can show this seal on their website. It checks itself live against our registry every time the page loads, and links buyers to a page confirming the exact website it belongs to.

How it looks

Left to right: full seal, compact seal, and what shows up if someone copies the code onto a site that isn't verified.

Add the seal to your site

Paste this where you want the seal to appear, usually the footer or next to your contact details:

<div class="ccsw-seal"></div>
<script src="https://stopclassiccarscams.org/seal/seal.js" async></script>

For the plate only, without the text, use <div class="ccsw-seal" data-layout="compact"></div>.

Why it can't be faked

  1. The seal only appears on the exact website address in our registry. Copy the code to another site and it shows "Not a verified dealer" instead.
  2. Clicking the seal opens our verification page, which shows the website it belongs to and the date it expires.
  3. If someone copies the seal as a picture and links it to a real dealer's verification, our page detects the site they came from and warns the buyer.
  4. Every seal carries a unique seal number. Buyers can enter it on our site, and it shows the one website that number belongs to.
  5. Every seal shows the date it was last checked, which is always today. A seal with an old date is a screenshot.
  6. When a website that isn't verified loads the seal code, we log it so we can act on it.
