Scammers are tricking Coloradans into signing away ownership of their vehicles
Scammers in Colorado are deceiving residents into signing away vehicle ownership by posing as third-party helpers offering to assist with DMV registration. Once a scammer's name is added to a vehicle's title, they can legally sell or seize the car. Colorado DMV officials warn that immigrants and seniors without standard identification are primary targets, and victims are advised to file police and DMV reports to recover their vehicles.
