Ellis County Sheriff
The sheriffs office is issuing a warning about a car-selling scam involving an antique and muscle car dealership listed as doing business in rural Hays that does not exist.
The sheriffs office says this scam has been happening to people across the U.S. buying collectable cars online who get scammed by fraudulent salespeople working for Crystal Peaks Cars.
Sheriff Scott Braun said that the website for Crystal Peaks Cars was recently taken down, but he urges everyone to use caution when buying and selling any item, including vehicles.
Anyone in the community who's had past contact with Crystal Peaks Cars is urged to contact the sheriff's office at 785-625-1040 to make a report.
