This is beyond disgraceful, this woman sets her house on fire, while her family was inside. And the worst part is, she did it because she wanted to get out of the mortgage and be with her new boyfriend.

Now, starting a fire is one thing, starting it while people are still inside is beyond sick. But doing that so you can run away with your new lover?

Oakland auto glass workers charged with insurance fraud

They swindled large amounts of money out of several insurance companies by installing regular windows on cars, and claiming that they had put in little extras like rain sensors. The truth is that they were just regular windshields with nothing fancy.

This kind of thing can be hard to combat, you can't exactly inspect every windshield of every client to make sure that the books haven't been cooked. Your thoughts on this?

Philly lawyer caught in 25 year insurance scam

You know, it really makes my blood boil when I read about such cases like the one reported the other day in the Philadelphia Daily News.

Since the early 1980's, an unscrupulous Philly lawyer has sent a team of people out to find holes in the road or pavements and then gets others to fall in them.

I'm not joking.

This little plot enabled H. Allen Litt to defraud insurance companies of around $2.5 MILLION in claims.

Bad Chiropractors

I feel like there should be a thread for chiropractors that have very bad practices, i.e. over treatment, fraud, inordinary treatment, known to be buddy buddy with lawyers, etc. Would this be wrong?

tobacco

I was talking to a client that I submitted a life app on. He wanted to know about rates for his brother, who had recently quit using dip tobacco. In the course of the conversation, he essentially disclosed to me that he quit using tobacco about the same time. Now, I'm going to have to call underwriting and let them know that he in fact did NOT quit using over a year ago.

It's no question that I'm going to notify underwriting, but I am kind of curious on something.

hi.. my name is Justin and I am a 20 year old male living in southern California. I work night stock crew at Von's pavilion and on May 15, 2007,I went to work at 10pm and finished around 5am on the 16th. A bunch of us walked out together and I will never forget that gut wrenching feeling I had when my car was not where I parked it and honestly, I think I went into shock!! I had only bought my Monte Carlo six months prior to someone stealing it. Lakewood Sheriff's sent an officer out who took the theft report and the minute I had this report to reference for my claim, I was on it.
