Well, what could I do? The answer is nothing. I was a little misled by the title of this blog. I thought that thieves might be creating counterfeit auto parts or vehicles. Swapping VIN numbers is nothing new. The bottom line is that, in difficult economic times, the scam artists are coming out of the woodwork. Unfortunately I keep the door closed to all sales people and I don't talk to anybody selling a service over the phone right now. It's just too risky to get caught in a scam at this time.
