It's a new way scammers take money in an elaborate auto scam. It is happening nationwide, and victims don't often realize it's happening until it's too late. It all involves your vehicle's VIN number.

Either way.. these fraudulent loans are not the vehicle owners responsibility and they easily proved it. Loan Co needs to drop this one, erase that VIN from the loan record and pursue the correct thiefs themselves.

It disgusts me that people can do this just by looking at the VIN, something always easy to see through the windshield. My dad just found out yesterday this happened with his Kia. The fact that Google searches returned results from credit unions rubbing their nipples saying "unfortunately, it is a crime the victim usually end up paying for" makes me want to defecate on a bank teller.

My bank and every bank I've ever been with require a bank employee to inspect the vehicle before the loan is finalized. How was the scammer able to get a loan simply with documents and no physical inspection?

@@BuildTheFutureYouWant The bank did not do their due diligence and they are the physical property in the transaction. Let's say someone uses your ID to get a loan for $10,000 and they don't pay a dime back. Let's also assert the state issued the ID. Now this person ditches the ID and keeps the money and never pays a dime back. Now the bank comes and sues you. Are you liable for the money the bank gave to the person with your ID? No difference. *Yes, this has happened several times*

Isn't "vin cloning" when someone "crooks" steals your high value car/truck, then buys an identical vehicle that has been wrecked/totaled from a wrecking yard and puts the wrecked vin plate on the new undamaged stolen car? (Edit): I live in Ca. In 2020, I bought a 2012 Toyota Camry from Anderson Toyota in Az. (out of state purchase). In orderr to transfer title from Ariizona to California, the Ca. DMV requires a "Vin Verification". I had to call the Calif. CHP, make an appointment and have the vehicle inspected. Here is my main point: The officer called my name, asked for the car's paperwork then proceeded outside to begin the inspection. I started to follow him outside to the car. He stopped in his tracks, turned around and informed me in no uncertain terms: "You can not go outside with me, You must wait in the office until I have completed the inspection". This made it clear to me that law enforcemnet DOES NOT want the public to know WHAT they are looking for or WHERE they are looking for it.

@@michaellewis9275 A while back, I watched a video about a guy who bought a classic project car. It had no plates/tags, no vin number and no engine. I think it was a '55 Chevy Bel-Air (maybe). Somewhere on the firewall, in the area of the brake booster, there was sheet metal that was doubled up. He drilled out some spot welds and peeled back the top layer of sheet metal to expose the bottom layer which had the hidden vin number. I tried searching youtube for the video but could not find it. To paraphrase the video title: "How to obtain a title from the DMV for a classic car without plates, engine or vin number". Maybe he took the video down. Cheers.
