Incorrect dash vin tag

So is there a place that will issue a replacement VIN tag.

We've tried to warn you. I'd be VERY cautious about contacting authorities until you explore other avenues. You may end up with no car or a parts car.

Jump the *** of the seller BAD, and demand he step up. Get him to backtrack where it came from and how. And keep in mind that HE may be THE PROBLEM
