Con artists are ripping off insurance (and indirectly you) by pretending to fall and get hurt. The price of these false claims is passed on to your insurance policy.
A New Jersey man claimed he was hurt slipping on ice cubes. Fortunately, a surveillance camera caught him throwing the ice cubes on the floor himself and laying down on top to make it look like slip & fall.
Alexander G. waited until he was found and filed a false insurance claim. He was charged for insurance fraud and theft by deception.
Fraudulent claims cost everyone and are one of the reasons your insurance premium keeps rising.
If you suspect a scam, contact National Insurance Crime Bureau* at (631) 694-9296, remember, insurance fraud is a crime, and it drains your pocket as well.
* The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) is a North American non-profit membership organization located in Des Plaines, Illinois.
