The Clerk and Recorder's Office wants to help you avoid motor vehicle fraud. Check out their new series of fraud prevention tips - "Under the Hood."

Thinking about buying a car from an online marketplace? Think twice before you click "buy."

Scammers often use fake images, stolen photos, and false descriptions to trick buyers into sending money for vehicles that don't exist or aren't what they appear to be.

One of the simplest ways to protect yourself: always see a vehicle in person before sending any money.

Motor vehicle fraud is on the rise and takes many forms. As scammers become more sophisticated, it can be harder than ever to spot a deal that's too good to be true. We're here to help you become a savvy consumer and protect some of your most valuable assets, your vehicles.
