    Sure, but it doesn’t make any sense. The lien holder being you, wouldn’t work out in court, which is where lien disputes are resolved.

      Yeah like I said it only works if they don’t look too deep.

      My assumption would be that they aren’t going to bother to go to court if they can’t see any public records (vehicle registration, titles, etc) without liens that they would be able to get money out of.

      So if they don’t bother to check who the lien holder is they will likely just move on to the next person to squeeze money out of.

      And yeah if they do go to court the scheme will quickly fail, but the whole reason these people think their magic incantations work is because the courts/creditors/etc often just ignore them because it ends up costing more to fight them than to properly enforce the law/contracts.
