Fake Metal Plates Fuel Stolen Car Scams Across Texas

Описание: Texas eliminated paper tags in 2025 to combat fraud, but authorities say criminals are now using fake metal license plates to sell stolen vehicles and avoid detection. Investigators warn that unsuspecting buyers often lose both the vehicle and their money after purchasing cars with fraudulent titles, fake registration stickers or hidden loans. Law enforcement urges buyers to verify vehicle history through trusted databases, avoid cash only deals and meet sellers in safe locations. Officials say awareness and careful research are key to preventing costly scams tied to stolen vehicles across Texas.
