Summary of NYS DMV's Efforts to Recover $3.6 Million

In March of this year, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced that it had recovered $3.6 million for taxpayers by participating in a multi-state investigation into an automobile loan scheme. The DMV said the money would offset future operational costs and help prevent fraud.

The DMV's involvement in the investigation began in early 2016 when it received a tip from another state agency about potential fraud related to auto loans. The DMV launched an investigation and uncovered a scheme whereby individuals took out loans for vehicles they did not intend to purchase, using false information to secure the loans.

The DMV then worked with law enforcement and prosecutors in several states to bring the individuals responsible for the fraud to justice. As a result of the investigation, 19 people were arrested and charged with various crimes, including grand theft and forgery.
