Auto dealers battle a growing problem: synthetic identity fraud
San Bernadino Sun
Grand theft auto might be a problem for Metro Detroit dealers, but a growing concern among dealers nationally is fraudulent sales that appear like any other transaction.
Vehicle thefts done through identity theft, synthetic identities and similar schemes are on the rise as lucrative fraud opportunities elsewhere dry up and vehicle prices remain robust.
