Why Small Frauds Cost the Insurance Industry the Most


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 Birth of a Serial Insurance Fraudster


The claimant wore plastic framed eye-glasses with thick lenses. He literally fell into a life of insurance crime and fraud.

One day the claimant was walking past a fine restaurant when he fell and broke the frames of his glasses. The manager saw him fall. She rushed out, helped him to his feet and checked his physical condition. He thought he was uninjured but the frames of his glasses had broken at the bridge.


The restaurant manager, fearful of a lawsuit, offered him lunch on the house and asked the cost of the frames. When he told her $80.00, she went to the register and brought him four crisp twenty-dollar bills. The claimant could not believe his good fortune. It was so easy. From that day on he made a good living from many small frauds.

Eighty dollars seems a small amount to avoid a lawsuit. The claimant, with multiple eighty-dollar claims, would average, in the two months he would limit himself to in any community, $2500 a day. His collections were either in person or by mail. He almost never bought a meal.


He was small stuff and no one wanted to bother with. Yet he stole, in his own small way, more than $600,000 a year. He took long vacations from his job. He stayed in the best resorts. He lived the good life because an $80 fraud is just too small to bother businesses, insurers, police and fraud investigators.
