Interesting. . . that’s your comment? Next time just go with “no comment”.
This agent has a seriously devious mind to come up with this scam to profit on her claim. I bet her clients absolutely love her. Her loss ratio is probably a little high though.
Interesting indeed, wonder how much stuff she returned to tip a store clerk off that they would call someone? The clerks at my local hardware store could care less.
first of all, if you read the article, it states that merchandise was returned and suspiciously spotted by security personnel not the store clerk. i don’t think it was the hardware store! it was probably more like a retail store, but here’s the interesting note, how could the security folks have known? they had to be tipped off to report this to the criminal division. folks return items everyday, so you had to be looking very closely to follow this individual. it’d been funny if she was returning merchandise that was going to be used for a party of some sort. it could have been the wrong size outfit for her baby or children or even her significant other. the items she returned, were they on the list of items that was lost in the fire? if so, then there was a tip given to somebody.
well maybe the company was suspicous to begin with, and they tipped off the store. especially if they keep making claim after claim. or maybe the amount she was seeking was too high. who knows. only she knows, and her company. but i’m betting the company was suspicous of the clams and tipped the store off she was using.
There is a well-documented scam in retail where folks steal items under a certain dollar amount and then get to return it without a receipt and get cash. I would bet that the security people just happen to see this same woman coming back, week after week, WITH the receipt, returning what was good merchandise and maybe making excuses to the clerk as to why it is being returned. This process is what makes security suspicious; once someone took interest, it didn’t take much to connect the dots, if you know what to look for. But even if that was not the case, it could be that the adjuster found the claim support to be too well prepared and any questions about them were too quickly answered and resolved. Whatever she did, she probably called attention to herself, and gave her scam away when they started asking more questions.
… that the store(s) would choose to report the returns as “suspicious.” I guess if it was $1,000’s of building materials, etc that would tip them off.

How would the store clerk know which insurance company to complain to, unless the agent was dumb enough to tell her/him?
Seems the agent should’ve cut the clerk in on the scam.
