a residence has a furnace blowback. the place is black from soot. the adjuster calls the restoration firm to go clean the residence. the manager of that firm tells his employees not too clean the residence very good as he owns a painting company and wants to make money painting the place. is this considered fraud on his part?

Anyone can charge whatever they want. This is still capitalist America, no matter how much Obama and the Democrats hate the fact.
What an insurance company is going to pay is a different matter.

My furnace oil furnace recently had a 'blow back'. there is not sute in the house, but it smells very badly like burnt oil. the insurance company brought in a restoration company. My question is what am I entitled to. For example there is a new 'microfibre' couch next to the furnace room. is cleaning the couch enough or should it be replaced. what about baby items like a storller, swing, high chair, also next to the furnace room (ready for baby in 2 mos).
thanks for your help.
I feel like they are trying to get away with the minimum here.

Honestly? I think you are entitled to some cleaner smelling air, but not much else.
No new couch, and no new baby stroller or swing, or high chair. Put those things outside for a few days and the furnace oil odor will evaporate. The stroller, swing, and high chair, in particular, are made of hard materials that can be wiped down with mild detergent and water to eliminate any surface "residue". A few small baking soda or activated charcoal sachets tucked in or under the cushions will absorb the odors in a week to ten days, compared to placing the furniture outside for a few days (and microfiber cloth is rather durable, so the mild detergent might also work on it, too).
Only if you cold establish excessively high levels of contaminants that cannot be safely removed from any of the items you listed, could you possibly be entitled to replacement of the items.

There are many people do fraud with insurance company. They make duplicate certificate and pass their claim. So sometime company give these cases to [Link removed as per TOU] and investigate on them.
