Everyone talks about insurance fraud, but nobody does anything about it--at least in cases where the claims are not significant. 

Sad to say, but some in the property-casualty insurance business view fraud--whether traditional or computer-based--as a cost of doing business, according to insurance fraud experts. While high-profile scams involving big dollars may draw the attention of special investigation units, some in the industry, whether from lack of time or a shortage of manpower and resources, see smaller crime--such as fraudulent claims for just a few thousand dollars--as just not worth the cost of challenging and investigating. 

That may be changing, however, as software developers come up with products to help identify questionable claims and flag them for human inspection.
