    Looking at it, it’s so close that I would have believed it, and I see these all the time. I’ve never seen one saying they were sending the title to have the lien removed, but in the state I live in they send it to you and you have to take it in to have the lien removed. If this is a fake it’s actually decent.

      The stray . and the use of the phrase “free and clear” were the only things that set off red flags for me.

      Nowhere near legal, but could cause enough confusion within different departments to delay any sort of action from Toyota. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        That’s my thought too. Someone up thread mentioned that the VIN and vehicle info are missing, but he blacked out certain information so it could be behind that.

        It’s close enough that a harried person trying to get through their day could glance at it, go ‘yeah, this looks right’, and do whatever.
