North Hollywood, CA ( Malebits ) January 21, 2008 — InsuranceBureau.com reports that economic conditions are creating a surge in (http://www.InsuranceBureau.com) auto insurance fraud. Faced with job loss, auto loans they cannot afford or cars that have greatly depreciated in value, some consumers are illegally filing auto insurance claims.
The new surge of auto insurance claims deal with autos reported stolen that have actually been abandoned, parked in precarious places intentionally with doors unlocked or cars sold to overseas buyers. Staged vandalism acts and accident are also increasing. Some are setting there car on fire after stuffing it with accelerants, dumping it in a large body of water or pushing cars into a steep ditch or off of a sharp embankment in order to collect auto insurance claims. Many authorities have found expensive vehicles left along the coast right in the path of hurricane Ike and Gustav. Unfortunately auto insurance fraud eventually leaves insurance holders picking up the tab. One source estimates that $300 a year in (http://www.InsuranceBureau.com) auto insurance premiums goes toward covering auto insurance fraud.
