The curious case of the disappearing Lamborghinis
A new online scam is making expensive cars vanish into thin air.
Deep Dive
A new type of organized crime is targeting owners of luxury cars like Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis. Criminals are creating fake profiles on popular car shipping websites to get hired for transport jobs. Once they have the vehicle, they disappear with it, often erasing its identity and selling it overseas before the owner even knows it's gone. This scam is growing and has already hit celebrities and rental companies.
Why It Matters
Anyone shipping a valuable car online could be at risk of this sophisticated theft.
