Here’s another insurance fraud case for International Fraud Awareness week. Stay tuned for more, and read them all on our website: https://www.sgi.sk.ca/news Case #2 A customer claimed his vehicle had been stolen and subsequently involved in a hit and run while he was at a party. He admitted to being intoxicated that night, but denied being the driver. He said he made a responsible decision to ask a family member for a ride home.... The customer said he went right to the family member’s vehicle when his ride got there, without checking on his own vehicle. However, neighbourhood video footage showed the customer leaving the party with a bag that was located in the vehicle after the alleged hit and run. When presented with this information, he admitted to being behind the wheel. This would-be fraudster said he did the right thing, but he didn’t and was financially responsible for the damages to both vehicles involved. His claim was denied, for a savings of $24,000. See more

Thanks for hanging out with us this International Fraud Awareness Week. Here’s our last insurance fraud case - and remember, you can read them all on our website: https://www.sgi.sk.ca/news Case #5 This would-be fraudster told SGI her vehicle was stolen when she was far from home one evening. She indicated she didn’t have a phone to report the theft, so at around 7:30 p.m. she started to walk the 25 km home. However, SGI learned that in the meantime, police had received a re...port of an accident and discovered her vehicle at about 8:30 p.m. that same night it had struck a bridge, 12 km from where the customer stated it had been stolen. They also found her intoxicated and barefoot, a few hundred yards away. When questioned by an SIU investigator after the fact about being found near the scene, the customer claimed the accident must have happened after she walked past the bridge. She denied being the driver. When asked how she could have walked more than 12 km in an hour, barefoot, she stated she was a fast walker. Johnny Cash sang I find it very, very easy to be true but because this person didn’t, her claim was denied for providing a false statement, with a savings of more than $12,000. See more

During this chilly International Fraud Awareness Week, let’s take you back to warmer months with another insurance fraud case. Read them all on our website: https://www.sgi.sk.ca/news Case #4 During the summer, police contacted SGI to report they’d had complaints of a possible impaired driver during a night shift. Police located the damaged vehicle, but could not confirm who had been behind the wheel or how the damage occurred. An SIU investigator later attended the scene to... record the damage, taking photos. The investigator also inquired at a local establishment where he confirmed the vehicle’s owner had been drinking that evening. Several months later, in the fall, the vehicle’s owner made a claim stating that after the first snowfall they had swerved to miss an animal and damaged their vehicle after hitting a curb. The new damage matched the photographic evidence from the summer; when presented with the information SGI had on hand, the vehicle’s owner admitted the truth. The claim was denied for providing a false statement, saving $10,000 in claim costs. See more

This week is International Fraud Awareness Week, and each day we will be posting about one of SGI’s top insurance fraud cases from last year. Case #1: A customer claimed a number of large appliances had been stolen and their home had been damaged in a break-in. The claim included a missing refrigerator, and damaged flooring as a result. But, the SGI adjuster had taken photos as part of the claim that showed a refrigerator was present a replacement, the customer alleged. An... SIU investigator was able to find photos of the residence taken a year and a half before the claim that showed the same fridge and the same damage to the floor. Law enforcement handling the case also noted seeing items that had been reported as stolen, still in the home. Sometimes things just appear before your eyes but this claim was denied, for a savings of more than $228,000. Check them all out on our website: https://www.sgi.sk.ca/news
