Fake Car Haulers

Car hauler boo boos happen here and there but if you have a luxury car and want to ship it to another state, be very careful and think twice on which hauling service you are going to use. If you are a dealership, make sure that the folks picking up your luxury cars have the right papers.
Luxury cars sure are very nice and most would have to save up just to own one. These days however owning a luxury car has become easy, you can just take it –literally. Recently, there are reports of false car haulers showing up at dealerships pretending they are from Atlas Towing. The National Auto Auction Associated has already sent out a warning to dealerships nationwide.
Just last summer, Manheim Auto Auctions was also victimized by the group. FBI is already looking into the situation. This is bad news for Atlas Towing and Recovery, a legit business based in the state of Illinois.
The daylight robbery of luxury cars from dealerships has happened to many dealers and authorities believe that these activities are connected. Dealers have already been warned to inform authorities if or when anyone or any group poses as people from Atlas Towing and Recovery.
To all dealers out there, please do not let them pick your vehicles. These guys are rather slick and they have a truck in tow as well. Somehow this is reminiscent of incidents of stolen cars about 10 years ago. The cars were found in Eastern Europe. This may be the same operation or maybe not. Whichever the case, let us all hope that this ends soon.
