IVASS is constantly active in monitoring the market with the aim of protecting consumers. In fact, insurance frauds are increasingly frequent. The market is very lively and it often happens that new insurance companies enter the Italian market with attractive prices. This is one of the positive aspects of a competitive sector to the benefit of consumers. Unfortunately, it also happens that scammers pretend to be insurers and issue false insurance certificates. In these cases, unsuspecting citizens convinced they have made a deal pay a premium to a scammer. A person who will never protect them in the event of a claim. Therefore, not only damage at the time of payment of the premium but a very heavy joke if an accident should happen. In short, if you have this auto policy you risk big. So let’s see who are the subjects reported by IVASS and what consumers can do.
Six new complaints in September
In September alone, the Authority blocked six new sites selling fake insurance. In the month of August, there were seven fraudulent portals blocked by IVASS. A sign that scammers never go on vacation and that consumers must always pay close attention.
The new sites reported by IVASS with the official press release of 15 September are: vivaldibrokers.com, assirubino.com, assione.net, biomedia-assicurazioni.com, agv-brokers.com4 and mansuttibroker.net. Anyone who has contracted coverage with these bogus brokers actually has no protection. In short, if you have this car policy you risk big especially in the event of an accident. If an unfortunate subscriber of one of these scam contracts were to cause an accident, he would risk having to pay the damages out of his own pocket. For amounts that in many cases exceed hundreds of thousands of euros.
If you have this auto policy, you risk big
Consumers can avoid these risks by paying close attention when receiving particularly affordable offers. While competition has lowered insurance costs dramatically, it is equally unlikely that a company will offer bargain rates. The Editing of ProiezionidiBorsa advises readers to always check contracts carefully before signing them. In particular, it must be verified that the details of the company and of the proposing subject correspond to the official lists kept by IVASS. Furthermore, it is essential to check that the website is that of the insurer. In fact, sites that boast the name of a well-known and real insurer without being connected in any way are not rare. We must always be vigilant when it comes to car liability, the risks in the event of an accident can be very high. Whether we have an irregular policy or our coverage has expired. We recommend reading our recent one deepening in the field.
