Josefa Ingraham 's blog ::Don’t be a Crash Test Dummy: Outsmarting Car Insurance Scams





               Auto               insurance               fraud,               or               accident               scams,               occur               when               someone               purposely               gets               into               an               accident               with               you               so               that               they               can               collect               for               damages.

Auto               insurance               fraud               also               occurs               when               you               purchase               car               insurance               from               a               scammer.

While               some               of               these               situations               aren't               necessarily               avoidable,               there               are               some               things               you               can               do               to               protect               yourself               from               accidents               scams               and               insurance               tricksters.

Being               an               informed               customer               and               taking               the               time               to               contact               your               state's               insurance               department               are               just               a               couple               of               things               you               can               do               to               avoid               becoming               a               victim               of               fraud.
               Here               are               some               other               tips               for               reducing               your               risk               of               auto               insurance               fraud:
               Be               Mindful               of               Suspicious               Activity               on               the               Road
               Don't               let               cars               tail               you               too               closely               and               move               your               car               out               of               a               lane               when               a               vehicle               seems               to               be               veering               dangerously               close.

People               who               are               trying               to               set               someone               up               for               an               accident               might               take               their               time               to               follow               you               closely               for               a               while               or               even               drive               recklessly               on               wide               roadways.

Be               vigilant               when               driving               and               always               drive               defensively               to               avoid               an               accident.
               Ignore               Door-to-Door               Salespeople
               Unsolicited               sales               calls               from               "salespeople"               claiming               to               sell               car               insurance               at               a               discounted               rate               are               often               scams.

Avoid               these               scam               artists               by               not               even               opening               the               door               and               never               sign               any               type               of               contract               until               you've               had               a               chance               to               research               the               company               and               check               in               with               the               Better               Business               Bureau.

Some               of               these               agents               and               scam               artists               can               be               difficult               to               detect,               but               it's               important               to               know               that               legitimate               insurance               agents               won't               be               doing               any               type               of               cold-calling               or               door-to-door               sales.
               Check               Insurance               Agent               License               Information
               Even               if               an               insurance               agent               has               posted               their               license               number               on               a               website               or               attached               it               to               an               email,               be               cautious               and               run               the               numbers               through               your               state's               insurance               department.

Your               state's               insurance               department               will               be               able               to               verify               whether               the               license               number               is               real               and               can               give               you               some               more               information               about               the               agent               or               company.

Don't               be               afraid               to               run               a               basic               online               search               for               the               insurance               agent's               name               or               the               company               to               see               if               there               have               been               any               complaints               or               reports               of               scams.
               Don't               Fall               for               Super-Low               Prices
               One               of               the               biggest               red               flags               of               an               insurance               scam               is               extremely               low               prices.

If               an               insurance               "company"               claims               to               be               offering               a               deal               that               is               much               lower               than               what               you've               been               quoted               with               other               insurance               providers,               take               extra               measures               to               determine               whether               they               are               a               real               company.

If               the               offer               seems               too               good               to               be               true,               it               probably               is.

Insurance               companies               only               have               so               much               leeway               to               reduce               rates               and               offer               discounts,               so               anything               that               is               really               far               outside               of               your               average               rates               is               probably               a               scam.
