Free Insurance Guide

Matilda Gabin, a woman in Massachusetts wanted a new car. Instead of simply saving money and purchasing one at the dealership she decided she would commit fraud. Last October Matilda tried to involve her husband in the scheme and asked him to get rid of the car so she could file a stolen car report. After he refused and then separated from her, Matilda found someone else to complete the task.

According to The Eagle-Tribune, Matilda’s husband became afraid that he could get in trouble for fraud and the fake insurance claim so he called the insurance company and then the police.

After investigating the fraud auto insurance claim, the Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts found out that Matilda had committed other mischievous plots for acquiring money.

Matilda had also been committing identity theft and forgery. She was working under her sister’s name so she could collect unemployment in her name. She also didn’t pay insurance premiums for three years by using fake addresses and a post office box.

Cases like these are why committees to fight insurance fraud exist and should possibly be expanded. The Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts started investigating insurance claims in 2003 and have filed 420 cases since then.
