Report suspected insurance fraud

Insurance fraud costs every policyholder. Most insurance fraud occurs at claim time, through claims for:

  • events/losses that didn't happen

  • staged losses – for example, arson and vehicle theft

  • exaggerated claims

In addition, a large number of fraudulent claims occur for non-disclosure of information that insurers require, in order to match the correct premium to the risk.
