Committing Fraud 101: Lesson 1 Make Sure The Camera Is Not On You

Good morning, class, and welcome to Committing Fraud 101, a course where we will teach you the finer points and nuances for committing workers’ compensation fraud. This will be a unique class for you, where both the curriculum and your degree will be suitable for framing. Oh, how I love a good double entendre. Let’s dive right in, shall we? Today, in Lesson One, we will analyze the failed attempt of a fraudulent workers’ compensation claim. This was a recent attempt in New Jersey, and I should note it resulted in a criminal charge. This is a very salient point, class. We will cover this more in Chapter Five — “Don’t Be a Dumbass: Avoiding Criminal Prosecution,” but the point bears repeating throughout the course. You are here to learn how to commit fraud without getting caught, and above all not to get prosecuted from a failed attempt.
