Support the cause
Every scam this site stops is a family that keeps its savings and a real dealer whose photos don't get stolen. The site is free for every buyer, and it stays that way because people like you chip in.
A dollar helps. Five helps more. If you're a dealer who's watched scammers clone your inventory, you know exactly what this work is worth.
Donations never buy a verified dealer seal. Verification is earned through our checks, and a donation doesn't affect it either way. That's what keeps the seal worth trusting.
Where your money goes
Keeping the site online
Hosting, the domain, security, and backups, so the warnings are there when a buyer searches at midnight before wiring a deposit.
Verifying dealers
Checking business registrations, dealer licenses, and physical locations before any dealer gets a seal.
Chasing down fake sites
Reviewing buyer reports, documenting fake dealer sites, and filing takedowns with their hosts and registrars.
Getting the word out
Spreading the red flags to buyers before they find the fake listing, not after.
Questions
- Is my donation tax-deductible?
- No. Stop Classic Car Scams is not a registered 501(c)(3) charity, so donations are not tax-deductible.
- How do I cancel a monthly donation?
- Reply to your Stripe receipt email or contact us through the report form and we'll cancel it right away.
- Why does a dealer donation not get a seal?
- If money could buy a seal, scammers would buy one. Verification only comes from passing our checks.
