Mortgage fraud is only one of many ways scammers target vulnerable consumers. Car dealerships also take advantage of those in desperate situations with fraudulent tactics. Salespeople will target folks with poor credit, the disabled, the elderly and those with a poor grasp of consumer protection laws. Here is how you can spot these auto dealer fraud scams and avoid being ripped off.
Texas does have consumer protection laws that can help the victims of auto dealership scams. If your vehicle is new, you may have protections under the Texas Lemon Law. Under some circumstances, the Texas Lemon Law allows you to receive a refund or replacement vehicle.
The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act can also offer protections. Victims of car dealership fraud should call an attorney to explore what options might be available.
