What should you do if you suspect your title has been fraudulently obtained?

If you suspect that your title has been fraudulently obtained, the most appropriate action is to report it immediately to the DMV. This is crucial for several reasons. First, the DMV has the authority to investigate title fraud and can assist you in establishing the true ownership of the vehicle. Reporting the issue allows the DMV to take necessary measures to prevent potential further fraudulent activities related to the title. Additionally, this step can help protect you from legal ramifications, as having a fraudulent title could complicate your ownership status or bring about disputes in the future.

The other options do not adequately address the seriousness of title fraud. Ignoring the situation could lead to complications if someone else claims ownership of the vehicle or if law enforcement becomes involved later on. Selling the vehicle "as is" without resolving the title issue can result in legal problems for both the seller and the buyer. Contacting local law enforcement is important, but it should accompany informing the DMV, as they are primarily responsible for title and registration issues. Taking immediate action with the DMV ensures that you are following the proper legal channels.
