I hear you and it makes sense.... but how in the world would they know?
Straight from the Program Rules:
Audits
GM will conduct periodic audits to ensure the integrity of the Program and of Program compliance by Participants. Participants may be asked to furnish documentation supporting the eligibility of Sponsored Purchasers, vehicle retention, and compliance with these Rules and Guidelines. Documents requested may include, but are not limited to, copies of marriage licenses, birth certificates, registration, and title information, etc.
GM reserves the right to audit dealership records and disqualify any sales that do not meet the Program’s guidelines. Any money improperly paid to any party based upon representations from a dealer, Participant, or Sponsored Purchaser shall be charged back accordingly.
Failure to comply with an audit request may subject the Participant to the sanctions referenced below.
Sanctions
Violations of these Rules and Guidelines, including, but not limited to, violations of eligibility rules, retention periods, titling restrictions, whether by the Participant or his or her Sponsored Purchaser(s), if any, will result in sanctions against the Participant.
Sanctions may include, but are not limited to, the loss of privileges (two (2) years per violation), repayment of monies, and/or employment action up to and including termination.
The sale of any Authorization Numbers, or any unauthorized use of an Authorization Number, is prohibited. A Participant who violates this provision, or who sponsors a Sponsored Purchaser who violates this provision, will be suspended from the Program for five (5) years per violation, will be required to repay the incentive monies, and may be subjected to employment action, up to and including termination. Subsequent violations of this rule may result in permanent suspension from the Program.
In addition, GM may pursue legal action against any individual or entity for violating these Rules and Guidelines.
