Insurance Fraud Stolen Registration
A New York officer noticed a trend in insurance fraud.
There have been multiple cases in which unknown person(s) have opened up insurance policies in the victim's name and address under the victim's owned vehicles.
According to an insurance expert:"
This is going on in Philly and Florida. The speculation is that they are finding unlocked cars and stealing the insurance info, making the accident claim and stating they are 100% at fault. The other driver, which is either the same person pretending to by the insured, or a friend/ family member acting as the other driver. Simple, straight forward claim that pays a few thousand dollars. Do one a day, make a few thousand dollars a week ( tax free). Backed into the car, the guy was really nice about it, please take care of his damages as quick as possible.
The ones in Philly are Nomadic Organized Criminals.

Clergy Scams
We talk about imposter scams a lot, we talk about people posing as the IRS, law enforcement, all kinds of imposter scams. This is a new one. This one involves clergy, unfortunately, no church, synagogue is immune from this. This is happening across the board and we’ve gotten some very sad stories about it, unfortunately. We want people to know about this, some churches are already in touch with people, it’s really ticked up in frequency during the pandemic unfortunately and that is partly due to the fact that a lot of people are worshiping remotely these days.”
