This Car SCAM Could Cost YOU Dearly!

Modification your automobile with :

Cloned automobiles are a severe concern in the UK. Some reports say there might be as lots of as 20,000 cloned cars on UK streets, while other reports state the number may be much greater!

To get to the bottom of how wrongdoers do this, Mat's turned to the dark side and is going to try to himself!

We've gotten a second-hand Mk6 Golf for simply ₤ 500. It was so low-cost since it's received some damage, so it's listed as a FELINE N write-off, implying it's gotten some non-structural damage which is repairable. Mat's now going to follow in a proper bad guy's actions by trying to pass this vehicle as another Mk6 Golf (which remains in much better condition, of course) and try and sell it on for an earnings!

We have actually gotten the help of the RAC and Devon & Cornwall Authorities to see what steps bad guys take to clone an automobile, and we'll likewise share some suggestions on how you can ensure you do not buy a cloned cars and truck yourself.

      In Germany you get your plates issued by the registration office and they carry an official stamp. Impossible to clone unless you steal the actual plates. Then the owner will report them stolen and get a new number issued and the old number gets blocked and flagged as stolen. So yes it would work.

    In Estonia it’s basically impossible to get scammed this way because in the government website you can see the car vin and ownership changes because when selling your car you have to transfer ownership to the new owner when selling it so there are 4 ways to spot a scam 1. The vin doesn’t match 2. The ownership history doesn’t match 3. When receiving the ownership change the number plate doesn’t match 4. You don’t receive the ownership change

    This happened to me once.
    . I had just bought my first ever car, I had not yet driven it long distance or on highways…. One day I received a fine for overspending from a town I had never been in with my car… Fortunately it was not a big fine, and I paid it unknowing how it was possible…. 6 months later there was news on TV, a man with a new car in warranty comming into the dealer’s official service for regular technical maintenance… In the parking lot, there was a car identical to his, with same number plates 😄
    Then they made public that this clonning number plates scam was in fact a common thing
    That answered all my questions
    Then a few years ago, I saw a police car stopping a taxi , checking it, and took off his number plates saying it was a pirate with fake papers and fake taxi license
    That same day, just a few hours later, same spot… I saw again the same car, same browny driver inside
    … All with new number plates 😄

    In Australia you have to transfer the details online when you sell/buy the car.. as the seller you need to enter your driver’s licence and name, and then verify with a code that it will send to your email address., It will come up with a list of the cars that registered to you to transfer.. Also the plates are much harder to clone as they are pressed metal with a special reflective coating that can only be printed by the TMR.. What a stupid system the UK has, considering this is so rampant!
