Employee fraud: Insurance sector is very mainstream and when the employees who are workings knows all the tactics and tricks of how it works, few of them cheat the customers and the company to get the money by doing fraudulent activities. And also there are fake agents following you and giving you the greed to get that policy at a low premium amount. Don’t fall for it!

Medical theft: Some people falsify by showing fake medical bills in order to claim the health insurance policy. This is considered under medical theft. So make sure you see the billing process properly and that no duplicate bills are issued apart from yours.

Car insurance fraud: The maintenance cost is very much higher if you buy a car and the fraud is conducted by unnecessary claiming for the maintenance or false accident by the insurer also sometimes they are frauds which claims that their car is stolen and once the insurance company is done with investigation and everything they get the car back.

Life insurance fraud: In rural areas people do not really have the knowledge about how things work and they try to fool around the companies. This is done to get the settlement amount by claiming false death of a family member and then shifting to some other city or state so that no one knows. Also happens in the metro cities but at a lesser percentage because no one could really migrate so soon after and there are a lot of people and facilities which they have to leave behind here.
