Shameless Schemers, Class Of 2020

As microbes march across America, the parallel pathogen of insurance crime also continues prowling for victims. Look no farther than the newest avatars of avarice, the Insurance Fraud Hall of Shame.

They’re the No-Class of 2020. These culprits are the year’s 10 worst insurance schemers. The shamers are dishonored annually by the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.

This year, houses are burned. Military valor is stolen. Fake slip-and-falls take a $31-million tumble. A mother is shot. The Commanders in Thief help put insurance fraud on full national display and with a purpose.

The shamers play a useful deterrent role. Promoting extreme schemes can help harden public opinion against this $80 billion a year crime.

Most people also remember vivid stories better than dry data, providing consumers with better recall of insurance criminals such as the shamers. We learn in vibrant detail the damage these Tyrannosaurus Wrecks can inflict on honest Americans.
