I have a situation that I wanted some feedback on. I sold a car this
morning to someone who claimed that he was buying the car for his
mother. I talked to the "mother' and got her address, phone, drivers
license number etc. He signed her name to the pink slip, handed me
cash, and took the pink slip and the car. She told me that he had
permission to sign her name. I had no idea that this constituted
forgery, but I understand now. Although if he actually gives the pink
slip to her and se signs over his signature that problem is remidied.
To complicate matters futher, she has an out of state drivers license in
Arizona. His drivers license is in california but it is expired. He
refused to give me his drivers license number. He insisted that the sale
go directly to her. He was referred by someone who is reputable. But
the whole thing is fishy and I am sorry that I went for it. It might be
innocent but I am wondering what the DMV in California will do when I
send in a change of ownership to someone who is not registered or does
not have a license in California, but apparently lives in California.
What can I do to make sure that my title gets cleared so that I am no
longer liable for this car? I feel foolish but my willingness to go
along with this was based on the referral from the person I know who is
reputable as far as I have always known. What am I liable for? What
should I do. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
