Minnesota warns of VIN cloning scams causing over $1.4M in losses, urging buyers to verify vehicles.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is warning about a rise in VIN cloning scams, where thieves steal cars, replace their original VINs with those from similar vehicles listed online, and sell them at low prices.
Often crossing state lines to exploit differing DMV systems, scammers hide the fraud until law enforcement seizes the vehicle, leaving buyers with no car and no money.
Authorities urge buyers to verify VINs through police or DMV sites, run vehicle history reports, avoid pressure to act quickly, and check for valid titles and proper paperwork.
These scams have caused losses exceeding $1.4 million, with suspiciously low prices often signaling fraud.
