If you're like me, you'd rather eat dirt than go through the experience of buying a car. That's why I'm glad that Capt. Brian Eckenboy does what he does for ADOT's Office of Inspector General, part of our Enforcement and Compliance Division. 

A big part of Captain Eckenboy's job is investigating fraud in vehicle sales, including when it's committed by unlicensed dealers. He joins On the Road With ADOT this week to explain this and ways detectives combat fraud, and how you reach out for help through our 24-hour Fraud Hotline. You can call 877.712.2370, email [email protected] or file a report at azdot.gov/incident-report.

ADOT detectives also investigate fraud involving driver licenses, VIN inspections and licensed vehicle dealerships.

Spend a few minutes listening to Captain Eckenboy chat with host Doug Nintzel and you'll be up to speed on how ADOT's Fraud Hotline is here to help you and how you can protect yourself from fraud.
