Well done!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leasing companies are in a pickle in many areas, and this manipulation of car identity is difficult to overcome. And one of the challenges is that leasing companies have to spend a lot of resources on verifying the identity of cars. They can't always pass this on to consumers, because competition on car prices is fierce.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, the pursuit of sales must always be balanced against control, and that can be a difficult balance to strike.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>In the organized crime environment, we see several links that provide opportunities for fraud:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Customs inspection and re-registration fraud<\/li>\n<li>Document forgery in the car's papers<\/li>\n<li>Changes to the car's identity (cloning)<\/li>\n<li>Misuse of people's identification documents<\/li>\n<li>Fabrication of false accounts, payslips, annual statements, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Insurance fraud to a greater extent<\/li>\n<li>And the list is far from exhaustive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a car is found to be cloned, it is impounded and examined further. The police initiate some technical investigations, which are technically demanding. A criminal case of fraud and forgery is then opened against the suspects involved.<\/p>\n<p>But who stands to lose out in the end? It's the leasing company that has financed a car under false pretenses. Insurance typically doesn't cover the loss, which leads to a difficult process between the leasing company and the dealer about who should \u201dtake\u201d the loss.<\/p>\n<p>So it is the full value of the car that must now be replaced by the companies' own accounts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>We often hear that it's the leasing companies\u201d \u201down fault\" when they have financed a fake car. However, based on our practical experience, we believe it's a more complex story and when it comes to reducing the number of cloning cases, the arrows point in different directions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>There should be stricter control of customs inspection companies.<\/li>\n<li>There should be a more continuous investigative focus on organized crime.<\/li>\n<li>There should be an opportunity to share knowledge across government and business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>yourCompany has launched some projects that will have a preventive focus for the industry. Together with Bilstatistik.dk, for example, an anti-fraud module is being developed to highlight some warning signs of credit fraud.<\/p>\n<p>We also have some very visionary initiatives in the pipeline that we can unveil later this year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>In addition, yourCompany continues to offer leasing and financing companies assistance with:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Preventive screenings of lessees<\/li>\n<li>Preventive vehicle inspections (physical verification of vehicle identity)<\/li>\n<li>Operational tasks such as finding missing cars<\/li>\n<li>Investigation of suspected fake documents<\/li>\n<li>Qualifying police reports<\/li>\n<li>Documentation of case progress for civil cases and coordination with lawyers.<\/li>\n<li>Coordination with authorities and insurance companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We only care that cases don't get to a level where police and insurance companies have to be activated. One of our mottos is funny enough: Investigation for prevention. We do what we can to reduce the number of bad cases.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that our good old colleagues at the police will have the peace and quiet to process the cases so that the arrow points in one direction: towards the fraudsters.<\/p>\n<p>Read the press release here: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/politi.dk\/koebenhavns-politi\/nyhedsliste\/flere-end-30-luksusbiler-beslaglagt-i-omfattende-politiaktion\/2021\/03\/23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">https:\/\/politi.dk\/koebenhavns-politi\/nyhedsliste\/flere-end-30-luksusbiler-beslaglagt-i-omfattende-politiaktion\/2021\/03\/23<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>yourCompany is currently celebrating the efforts made by the police against the Zealand-based organized crime network in the automotive industry.
