Residents of Deschutes, Marion, and Tillamook counties in Oregon need to be on high alert as odometer scammers have been operating in the area, defrauding unsuspecting victims out of thousands of dollars. These criminals are changing the odometer readings on used cars and trucks in order to deceive buyers.

How the Scam Works

For instance, they may remove the first digit from a title that originally showed 198,000 miles, making it appear as 98,000 miles. This deceptive act is a felony in Oregon and can result in a prison sentence of up to 5 years.

1. They may offer a seemingly lucrative deal that is too good to be true. For example, presenting a 2014 car with 100,000 miles at a price significantly lower than its actual value.
2. The vehicle will appear excessively clean, both in the interior and under the hood.
3. The seller’s name may not be on the title, claiming to be selling the car for a relative.
4. They will insist on a cash-only transaction.

5. They will suggest meeting at a neutral location, such as a department store parking lot, and may avoid revealing their identity by not bringing a second vehicle to the meeting.
6. They may present fake IDs to further deceive buyers.

Identifying the Scammers

The individuals behind these scams have been described as two dark-skinned males, possibly Hispanic, in their early thirties. One suspect is around 5’6″ and weighs approximately 140 lbs, while the other is around 5’8″ and 180 lbs. The taller suspect is the one who typically engages in conversation during the transaction.

Protecting Yourself

To safeguard yourself from falling victim to odometer scammers, it is recommended to run a CarFAX report on the vehicle using the license plate or VIN number to verify the actual mileage. These scammers may present fake CarFAX reports to deceive buyers.

If you encounter these individuals or suspect fraudulent activity, it is advised to take a picture of them and their vehicle’s license plate and immediately contact the authorities. This is an ongoing investigation, and any information leading to the arrest of these criminals will be rewarded.
