The Federal government instituted the Cash for Clunkers program last summer to boost consumer demand. The boost came from a credit for car owners who turned in their old cars, or clunkers, and purchased more fuel efficient vehicles.

Cars and trucks that qualified for this program had to meet a number of provisions. However, some car owners with vehicles that did not meet the provisions were still able to receive the credit. In some cases, this was an example of fraud.
