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.

On the second birthday of their daughter, Melissa’s husband left to get two liter bottles of cola. He never came home. A month later she received a postcard from Nebraska: “I’m sowing my wild oats. Can’t be married anymore. John.”

The adjuster walked across the aisle, presented her information to her SIU investigator. He traveled to Visalia and obtained the original invoices and a recorded statement from Melissa’s ex-employer. He presented the results of Faith’s investigation, a copy of the true invoice, a photograph of the allegedly stolen computer and a transcript of the recorded statement of the employer to the Fraud Division of the State of California, Department of Insurance.

Two weeks later, four officers of the Division drove from their office in the City of Commerce to Visalia with an arrest warrant. Much to their surprise they found the television and VCR back in Melissa’s house.

She was arrested for insurance fraud; her child was placed in the care of her maternal grandmother. Melissa’s attempt to get off Welfare was a total success – she would spend the next year in state prison.
