You file a phony burglary claim with your insurer and after they balk about paying, where do you turn for help? Well, the Internet, of course. That’s what this poster did this morning:
I am looking for a way to fake out my insurance company and make it look like i really have the items i dont have my appartment was “broken into.” I filled out police report but the insurance company says that i need prooof of ownership of the items that i claimed how do i do this seeing as how i never owned them?
It’s interesting that it was posted on the blog “Fraud Protection & Detection,” so it’s not surprising most replies were less than helpful:
• “I hope they prosecute you…”
• “Let me get this straight. You are asking on a public forum how to commit fraud without it looking like you are attempting fraud? I hope they catch you.”
• “Definite Rhodes Scholar material here…”
• “…You’re one of those horrible people that screw up good things for the rest of us.”
• “You will get in trouble for 2 things – filing a false report with the police – which, if you filed it already, you can’t ‘take it back’ & insurance fraud. Hope they send you to jail & throw away the key.”
• “I hope you like prison orange because insurance fraud is a felony.”
and my favorite:
• “You’re the reason everybody complains about their insurance premiums always increasing. I hope they catch you, you have to spend some quality time with “Bubba”, and end up having to sit on a donut the rest of your life. JACK ASS!!!”
The Coalition monitors blogs, Twitter, Facebook, chat rooms, bulletin boards and wherever people in cyberspace discuss insurance fraud. Some of the information shared is helping to spread scams that likely won’t get detected. That’s disturbing. But more and more, people — like the ones above —are voicing their opposition to committing fraud in the strongest terms. And that’s encouraging.
