*SCAM ALERT*

The Veazie Police Department is warning the public about a suspected online scam involving a business calling itself "CASCO BAY CLASSIC CARS LLC", which claims to be located in Veazie, Maine.

The website advertises classic vehicles at prices far below market value and asks buyers to send payment with the promise that the vehicle will be shipped after purchase. In these cases, victims send payment but never receive the vehicle.

We are currently working to have the website associated with this scam shut down. In the meantime, please use caution when purchasing vehicles online and thoroughly verify any seller before sending money.

If you believe you may have been affected by this scam, please contact your local law enforcement agency.

Please consider sharing this post to help spread awareness and prevent others from becoming victims.
