Examples of Homeowners’ Insurance Fraud:
- Staging a phony burglary or vehicle break-in and faking a loss
- Overstating the value of stolen items after an actual burglary of a home or vehicle
- Lying about the extent, cause, date or location of legitimate damage
- Intentionally damaging property
- Making a second claim for a loss that was already paid for by another insurer or through a prior claim
- Asking a repairman to "cover your deductible" within their estimate.
- Fabricating supporting evidence — often in collusion with a crooked contractor, plumber, repairman or insurance adjuster.
