However, the scenario had been thought through, two cars, one pileup at a crossroads, it was money easily earned for our fraudsters budding. But there’s always a flaw in the best laid plans and they didn’t see it coming.
The scene of the pile-up had been entirely thought out
It’s 2:30 p.m., the streets are quiet, the ideal time for our scammers of the day to put their scenario into action. A first person stops a Silver gray SUV in the middle of the road and leaves the vehicle.
A few seconds later, a black 4×4 comes hit head on the first vehicle, its driver immediately takes the leak.
A rather classic accident situation in which the insurance will pay for the damage, well that was what our team expected. broken arm teambecause obviously if we can tell you the details, that’s because the scene was filmed… Those beginner’s mistake !
Police find residential surveillance camera

The police therefore combed the neighborhood in search of witnesses to support his words and what could be better than surveillance camera from a neighboring house to very easily explain what happened.
Subsequently, witnesses at the scene told officers that this woman had arrived at the scene well after the crash. In short, their plan fell apart and now they will have to face the consequences of their action. Failing to be reimbursed by their insurance, they will have to pay compensation to the latter.
Fraudsters risk more than $30,000 each for this scam
The story does not say how much they hoped to pocket with this scam, but we can tell how much the insurer will ask them. The culprits aged 25 to 52 years old are all accused of insurance fraud and for this, they all risk salty fine over 30 000 dollars.
Faced with this type of behavior, the police called on citizens to be vigilant. All Suspicious activity must be photographed or filmed to be transmitted to the competent authorities.
