Staged Auto Accident Fraud
Imagine, you’re driving on the road when suddenly a beat-down car full of passengers pulls into the lane right in front of you.
Then, suddenly, the driver slams on the brakes. You look up at your rearview mirror, but it’s too late, you’re in a three-way accident.
But no one should be hurt. It was a minor fender bender, right? Wrong. All eight passengers stumble out of both cars holding their necks and rolling around on the ground. The police officer shows up and incredulously writes up an accident report.
