Classiccarsofwilliamsburg.com Scam Exposed
When 64-year-old Sandra T. from Florida set out to purchase a rare Mercedes, she never imagined she’d become the target of an online scam. The sleek images, polished website, and smooth-talking “dealer” at Classiccarsofwilliamsburg.com made the transaction feel legitimate—until she lost over $58,000 in cryptocurrency.
Thanks to ST9 Investigations Ltd, Sandra not only uncovered the truth but successfully recovered her stolen funds. Here’s her story—and a warning for anyone considering crypto transactions for online vehicle purchases.
🚗 The Scam: A Classic Car, a Modern Deception
Sandra stumbled upon Classiccarsofwilliamsburg.com while browsing for classic cars online. The website claimed to be a small vintage auto dealership based in Texas, specializing in restored muscle cars and collector models.
“It looked so real. They had VIN numbers, detailed restoration photos, and even an inventory list that changed weekly,” Sandra said.
The red flag came when the seller insisted on receiving only cryptocurrency for payment. He claimed it was for “tax purposes” and “faster international logistics.” Sandra, who had recently opened a crypto wallet on the advice of a friend, reluctantly agreed and transferred the full payment in Bitcoin.
🛑 No Car, No Response, No Refund
After the funds were sent, the tone shifted. The so-called dealer stopped answering calls, and emails bounced back. The delivery date passed with no updates. Sandra realized too late: she’d been scammed.
“I was heartbroken. Not just because of the money—but because I felt so stupid. I didn’t think I could get it back.”
🔍 Enter ST9 Investigations Ltd
Desperate, Sandra turned to Google and found ST9 Investigations Ltd, a specialist forensic recovery firm experienced in crypto scam recovery. Within 48 hours of contacting them, ST9 assigned her a recovery analyst and began investigating the transaction.
“They didn’t make promises—they gave me facts. They traced the crypto wallet, identified patterns, and even linked the scam to a cluster of fake car sales sites,” Sandra said.
ST9’s team used blockchain forensics, coordinated with relevant crypto exchanges, and issued formal compliance requests. Within weeks, a majority of Sandra’s funds were frozen and returned through a reverse process in collaboration with an international exchange.

🧠 Lessons from the Scam
1. Crypto-only sellers are a red flag: Reputable businesses rarely limit themselves to one irreversible payment method.
2. Always verify the seller’s identity: Fake dealership websites often copy content from real businesses or use fictitious addresses.
3. Beware of urgency: Scammers push for quick payment to avoid scrutiny.
4. Use escrow or third-party verification services: Especially when buying big-ticket items like vehicles online.
5. Report early: The sooner you act, the more likely funds can be tracked and recovered.
