A major problem that arises with junk cars and receipts is fraud. In the case described in my previous blog, junk cars and receipts, the customers actually did sell their vehicles to a junk car removal service and were in search of a receipt. Other so called customers call Junk My Car companies looking for a receipt but actually never sold their vehicles at all. These type of people are looking for a proof or purchase for their vehicles, but their vehicles were never actually purchased; the vehicle owner still has possession of the vehicles.
These people are committing fraudulent activity. They are in search of a junk my car company that will make out a receipt for their vehicles so that either the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or their automobile insurance companies can pay them for their supposed junked vehicles, which were never actually junked. This type of activity is illegal and punishable by law. Junk my car companies have to be ware of these type of people. Operators should confirm with tow drivers that the vehicles in question were actually picked up before they make out a receipt for the vehicles.
Junk car removal companies on the Northern East Coast have been overloaded with flooded vehicles that have been damaged in Hurricane Sandy and are more likely to simply make up a receipt for a vehicle that a Fraudulent person is claiming that the company purchased. When a company is so overloaded with business, it is more likely to make mistakes such as making out a receipt for a vehicle that it never actually bought. Junk car removal and junk my car companies need to stay alert and be ware of people who are trying to get receipts for vehicles that were never purchased.
