Insurance Fraud

Slick operators who run insurance policy schemes will try to sell you anything in the insurance line, regardless of your existing coverage or need. The premiums far exceed those charged by reputable insurance firms. Watch for these scam-related tricks:

  • A request for cash payments.
  • A request for lump-sum payments as far as a year in advance.
  • An offer of last-chance insurance bargains.
  • A request that you sign a blank insurance form.

When purchasing insurance, be sure to read all the fine print on documents and purchase only the insurance coverage you need. Discuss the offer with an attorney or a knowledgeable friend or relative before signing any document.
