    Worked on these cases since 2018. The best way to get the real VIN is to use an OBD reader.

      Another place they can go to get a stolen VIN is that someone would go to a wrecking yard and take a photo of a car VIN that was wrecked or scrapped.

    Those "VIN" numbers are stamped on a hundred different places on the vehicle. Generally VIN tag locations are not published. Most manufacturers, if not all, have hidden vin stamping & tags. The exact locations are closely held and usually only shared with law enforcement agencies and insurance companies for positive identifications.

    Wrong advice from the reporter and the authorities. Even if you check the federal sticker the vin there can match the one on the dash. And the history report will say nothing about that. What you need to do is PPI! Pre-purchase inspection! Bring the car to a certified mechanic or even better-brand dealer. They will check the car and will check if the vin matches the stamped vin on the chassis! This is where stupid criminals fail. If the seller refuse to allow you to do a PPI- run. It is astonishing how many people do not want to spend 150 or 200 dollars today for their peace of mind.

      Well, these are coming from dealerships selling to fraud people, the banks, and dealerships should check, facial recognition, fingerprints, dna before handing a 60 or 75k vehicle over. It's there mistake. Not some joe bob, who buys an suv thinking it's got a clear title.

    You guys are a scam!! I am a dealer and run into stolen cars sold online everyday. When I contact the police about it, they want nothing to do with them. There were even situations where i set up meetings with the thieves and stolen cars. When I called the cops, there exact words to me is they don’t have a department that handles stolen cars but if I buy it I can bring it to the police station and they can verify it and then seize if it comes back stolen 😂what a joke!! Cops out there are scared to go after the thieves so they wait for the average Joe buys it and then take it from them. This is not right and needs to be a change
