Auto Insurance 'Scams Caught on Dash 'Camera in the U.S and Canada

watch carefully this looks like a regular car accident but its actually an
elaborate crime with multiple players
look at the right side of your screen that white SUV is the lead car
the drivers on the lookout for women driving alone who were turning left into
a Los Angeles shopping center

1c spots one he flashes his brake lights
a signal for his partner many waves for the woman to turn in front of them
but wait now he pulls up in blocks away she has nowhere to go
his partner in the oncoming traffic lane races up and smashes into her vehicle
and the lead car simply drives away

she was probably set up who's at fault if the police were called on this
the left earlier I Watkins is a special agent with the National Insurance Crime
Bureau
he says the criminals have extensive networks including doctors who create
bogus medical claims
the only good two maybe three times with promos and will sign that they've been
there thirty thirty five times
and lawyers who represent the criminals posing as
injured passengers by inflating the damage to their cars and their bodies
the crooks cashing in on insurance policies
there's been a big upswing in insurance fraud a lot of people earn it work they
need the money

and they'll get involved in these accidents
think this was just some random crime think again
surveillance cameras catch the same white SUV
at the same location another day same game plan
same result lead car waves the woman's car to turn
then blocks away the second car creates the crash

and the maddening thing is the criminals in both incidents were never caught
here's what it would look like from the victim's perspective I wanna turn left
into that entrance over there and at first the other driver waves me on
but when I go to go people lost my way in a second car
barrels down house in Sydney
insurance companies lose money on the scams but the victims can lose their
lives
