Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE presents videos so you can learn how insurance fraud is perpetrated and what is necessary to deter or defeat insurance fraud. This Video Blog of True Crime Stories of Insurance Fraud with the names and places changed to protect the guilty are all based upon investigations conducted by me and fictionalized to create a learning environment for claims personnel, SIU investigators, insurers, police, and lawyers better understand insurance fraud and weapons that can be used to deter or defeat a fraudulent insurance claim.

The insurance industry, unintentionally, instructs its insureds how to successfully perpetrate insurance fraud. Insurers encourage fraud by: decimating its professional claim staff by short-sighted cost cutting. by selling insurance to persons unknown to the company or the broker. by accepting the word of new applicants without a pre-risk survey.y allowing threats of bad faith lawsuits to intimidate the company into a quick settlement.

Commercial property insurance has proven to be an excellent training ground for novice frauds. Baseball cards are collectibles with widely varying values depending on rarity and condition. The value of a collectible car is totally subjective and, as a result, difficult to insured.
