Insurance Frauds Forum

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?

If someone is interested to know about it, please drop a line.

Hi what about the private insurance programs!

I had applied for a medical kit through the telephone & when it came to me almost half the things were not in place (as was promised to me earlier).

Similarly, when i applied for this health insurance program over the phone, I was told that it would certainly be a different experience than the kit (as this one was supposed to carry only papers). But its been 2 weeks but I have not recieved any paperwork through the mail. Do you all feel that I got tricked ? Pls help!

What will your spouse, kids, brothers, sisters, parents, aunties, uncles, cousins friends, family, boss, co-workers, landlord, shopkeepers, and neighbors think about you when it comes out that you committed insurance fraud? Whenever you burned your house down, left your car on a railway crossing, or pretended to be suffering from the latest disease.

1. Your neighbor has been on compensation for years, but does all the household chores that would aggravate a true injury. Compensation companies are sending investigators out to keep an eye on people who they feel may have committed workers compensation fraud through some frivolous claims.

2. If you have a claim, then physically you should not cut your grass, get on a ladder, be on the roof replacing shingles, other laborious jobs that is defined as able body.

3. This is bad because it makes people assume that a legitimate claim is bogus

This is beyond disgraceful, this woman sets her house on fire, while her family was inside. And the worst part is, she did it because she wanted to get out of the mortgage and be with her new boyfriend.

Now, starting a fire is one thing, starting it while people are still inside is beyond sick. But doing that so you can run away with your new lover?

They swindled large amounts of money out of several insurance companies by installing regular windows on cars, and claiming that they had put in little extras like rain sensors. The truth is that they were just regular windshields with nothing fancy.

This kind of thing can be hard to combat, you can't exactly inspect every windshield of every client to make sure that the books haven't been cooked. Your thoughts on this?

You know, it really makes my blood boil when I read about such cases like the one reported the other day in the Philadelphia Daily News.

Since the early 1980's, an unscrupulous Philly lawyer has sent a team of people out to find holes in the road or pavements and then gets others to fall in them.

I'm not joking.

This little plot enabled H. Allen Litt to defraud insurance companies of around $2.5 MILLION in claims.

I feel like there should be a thread for chiropractors that have very bad practices, i.e. over treatment, fraud, inordinary treatment, known to be buddy buddy with lawyers, etc. Would this be wrong?
