Classic car restoration fraud is on the rise. Now, Federal authorities and the FBI are taking notice and victims are fighting back. The losses are in the millions and recovering the vehicles and the money is often difficult. Authorities and victims are warning car collectors to be cautious and dig beyond fancy social media profiles or positive endorsements on google or yelp.
Earlier this year, U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced that Clark P. Rittersbach, 49, of Cape Coral, Florida, was criminally charged with wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000.
