Why would a company pay a claim for a death that took place 2 months before the policy was in force?
Typically, the IJ article misses important stuff, such as this from the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
“When she submitted a claim, she used altered documents — including police reports and a death certificate — to show that her son died in April 2003, authorities said.”
She might only end up with just 5 years probabtion. That almost makes it worth the risk!
What about the signature? Was this accepted online? Did she cross-dress to look like her son? Was identification never requested? Did an agent take the application?
There is just so much information missing from this article. How did she get away with getting the applications submitted for it to be issued?
Or have I missed something?
