Dealer Fraud Is Increasing Rapidly
Recent industry research shows:
- Nearly 9 out of 10 dealerships now view fraud as a top operational concern. A majority of dealers believe fraudulent transactions are on the rise, not isolated incidents.
- Over the past year, dealerships reported an average of about four fraudulent deals completed before detection.
- 45% of dealerships estimate a single fraudulent deal can cost them between $10,000 and $20,000, and nearly a third say losses exceed that range.
- Nearly 50% of dealers say they lost four or more vehicles to identity fraud over the past two years, with some reporting 10 or more.
These are real bottom-line losses affecting both profitability and resource allocation—and many dealers don’t have adequate prevention tools in place.
