Fraud Risks are Closer Than They Appear

Fraud and identity theft in the auto industry continue to make headlines with the result bringing significant monetary losses for dealers. Many of today’s consumers begin the buying journey online and even complete the purchase transaction before visiting the dealership. This online process adds a layer of complexity as dealers try to confirm and validate identities before fraud or theft can take place. Without proper precautions, dealers will continue to experience bottom-line losses from a variety of fraudulent activities. Backed by Experian with years of experience in fraud solutions we now offer our fraud solution to the automotive marketplace. With Experian Automotive’s Fraud Protect™, we can help predict risk and protect your dealership from fraud.

First-Party Fraud

First-party fraud is when a person knowingly misrepresents their identity or gives false information while financing a vehicle.

Also known as identity theft, this is when fraudsters use someone else’s identity without their knowledge to finance a vehicle.
