Car Fraud Swede Ride Classics
 

Hey guys just wanted to put this out here. A good friend of mine thought he bought a 1967 corvette from a place called swede ride classics in Minnesota. His first mistake was buying the car sight unseen, 2nd mistake was paying for the car through a wire transfer @47K. The car never came, and the money is gone. I know it's a very stupid mistake he done but I know there's others out there that buy cars the same way. Just a heads up for those reading.
swederidsclassics.com. Have a great safe and Happy Memorial Day folks.

That is a shame. Failure to perform due diligence can be an expensive mistake. I searched it and found this statement from a permanently closed Swede Rides Customs & Classics...

DO NOT do business with anyone posing as our business. If you have recently looked at a car on swederidesclassics.com, quickly stop pursuing any further action. DO NOT provide financial or personal information to these people.

We at Swede Rides Customs & Classics wish you the best of luck in your searches and kindly request performing your due diligence before purchasing a vehicle over the internet.

Kind Regards,

The Team at Swede Rides Customs & Classics

Thanks for the follow up.
Right now, he has the bank trying to do a fraud deal and refund his money, but they told him it's a long shot. They told him to get the police involved and get a lawyer for this situation.

Sorry to hear of his loss, but in this day in age, I would kind of expect it. A STEALERship has a 1967 Vette for $47,000???? And one doesn't do his background checks????

This is a known issue with dirtbags doing this type of thing posing as "classic car" dealers using other dealers' pictures, information etc. A simple Google search and a phone call or two cold have nipped this issue in the bud.
Just plain common sense...

Look at the prices, completely a scam...

Scam
 

Take a look at the address and building on Google street: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4425...5409&entry=ttu

Yea and better business bureau says they are fine and have a license until oct this year.
They are still advertising using the swedes name but buyer be where.

almost happened to my brother last year he showed me a 70 chevelle he liked it looked very familiar to me a quick google image search brought me to a dealers sold inventory. the scumbags used the dealers pics but made their logo over it.

and their not done. If you punch their telephone number in google search it comes up with another business name 706 760 3377. All about cars. FBI involved now. Iam sure they can track that number.

I performed a TraceRT and located the web site being hosted in San Franciso, I emailed

the Hosting company CloudFare INC, worth a shot. Ill let you know if I get a reply.

very much appreciated.

Surprised, with all the members and their connections, someone couldn't actually go get eyes on the culprit and these so-called cars......

Impressive website. And yes, the exterior of the building definitely doesn't match the interior pictures.
