Two arrested in Placer County for ‘oil-in-the-engine’ car scam

Two Fremont men were arrested in Placer County for running an “oil-in-the-engine” scam that targets private car sellers. Investigators say the suspects poured oil onto engines to make vehicles appear damaged, then pressured sellers into accepting low offers. Deputies also found counterfeit documents and a stolen 4Runner tied to a similar scam in the Bay Area. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office warns that the fraud is spreading nationwide and urges sellers to meet in public places, like law enforcement parking lots, and avoid pressured transactions. #OilInTheEngineScam #CarScamAlert #PlacerCounty #CaliforniaCrime #ABC10News Get the news today live and weather with the free ABC10+ TV streaming app: https://www.abc10.com/article/about-u...
