NICB Issues Warning on Stolen Vehicle Cloning


The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) is warning consumers to be careful when purchasing a used vehicle to avoid becoming a victim of vehicle cloning.

For many years, vehicle identification numbers (VINs) have served as proof of an automobile's identity; however, scam artist have begun "cloning" VINs in an effort to pass off stolen vehicles as legitimate ones. The NICB is warning consumers about used cars priced well below fair market value. Use NICB's free VINCheck service below before buying a used car.
