Here is a website I founs a while back and still go to it every now and again to check up on potential buys. I thought I would post it up here and after it gets some attention, I'll probably stick it so that it's easy to come back to. I don't want to stick it now as it may not get the attention it deserves. Go ahead, try it out. Here is a known stolen VIN to play with... BTW, if anybody ever comes up with that VIN on a frame, give me the address where it is, and I'll give you something for your trouble.

You see a lot of frames without paperwork these days and there's really no reason to assume they are stolen right off the bat, but there's also no sense in building before you know, and anything without a title should be suspect and checked. I like the site becuse I can check the VIN before even going to look at it as long as the seller will give it to me, and if he won't... Well, he probably should get a visit from somebody else instead. post #8 of 47 (permalink) post #9 of 47 (permalink) post #10 of 47 (permalink) Motorcycle: 86 7/11 86 1100 87 1100 89 750 95 xr650l 86 ATC 125m post #11 of 47 (permalink) post #12 of 47 (permalink) post #13 of 47 (permalink) post #14 of 47 (permalink)

Enter Your VIN: VIN fraud is the act of replacing or altering a vehicle identification number (VIN) in order to mislead consumers or law enforcement. It often occurs in conjunction with vehicle theft. The two most common types of VIN fraud include: VIN cloning: Taking an entire VIN from a legally registered vehicle. VIN altering: Changing one or more characters of a VIN. The most common method of vehicle or auto fraud, VIN cloning involves taking a VIN from a similar, legally registered vehicle and placing it on damaged or stolen property to hide its identity. This allows criminals to: Sell a stolen vehicle to an unsuspecting buyer. Because it can be hard to detect, VIN cloning has become an increasingly popular low-risk option for criminals seeking to sell stolen property.

Car thieves can obtain registered VINs by: Taking a VIN from a registered, recently salvaged vehicle in a junk yard. Copying VINs from the windows of vehicles in dealerships or parking lots. Stealing a VIN from the Internet. With relatively low-tech equipment such as a computer, typewriter, and barcode label printer, criminals can counterfeit VIN plates, stickers, labels, and even vehicle title documents. Why VIN Cloning Is Dangerous When a criminal clones a VIN, it often results in two or more registered vehicles on the road with the same vehicle identification number. Stolen vehicles with cloned VINs are sometimes taken to a different state and sold. The victim of VIN fraud is often unaware of what's happened until their vehicle winds up in the same state as the originally registered vehicle. In most situations, the unknowing new owner of a stolen car or truck incurs the loss of property when authorities are forced to impound the vehicle. Other dangers of VIN cloning include:

The possibility that a cloned vehicle was registered BEFORE the legitimate vehicle. The burden of proving to law enforcement that you weren't involved in the cloning of a VIN. The altering of a vehicle identification number can have serious implications. In most states, VIN altering is a felony offense that often results in jail time. VIN altering is defined as as:Knowingly removing a VIN from a vehicle.Destroying a VIN so that it's unreadable.Changing the numbers or characters of a VIN.Any other form of tampering.Most often, VIN altering is a criminal act meant to mislead potential buyers or law enforcement. However, it is also common for a VIN to be removed and reattached during restoration. By law, this can result in judicial punishment.How to Avoid VIN Fraud While detection of VIN fraud can sometimes be difficult to detect, there are several measures you can take to prevent fraud from occurring. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NCIB) recommends you:Use caution when purchasing a car or truck from a seller using only a cell phone number as their contact information.
