DALLAS - For years Frenchitt Collins worked as a legitimate insurance adjustor. He was able to pull off a major insurance fraud by luring in victims with ads. Ultimately Collins was sentenced to 15 years in prison and was ordered to pay $700,000 in restitution to his victims. "Those P.O. boxes were rented by him (Collins), his wife, his brothers, or his girlfriends," said Bodon. In order to attract clients with ads, he would go ahead and offer them $100 or $200 to use their identifiers. Once that information was received, Collins went ahead and completed medical forms necessary and sent them to insurance companies. The goal of these ads was to lure in more victims. Insurance companies would then send Collins checks, lots of checks. Federal officials said insurance fraud is a $30 billion business in the U.S. "It is very lucrative for the criminal to perpetrate the crime because it's low risk and it's high reward and they know that," said Fred Lohmann of the National Insurance Crime Burea.

Stay Focused on Home Purchases THUNDER BAY - MONEY - The housing market is hot, in part to low interest rates and home prices that were low for many years. Given that the purchase of a home is typically the largest purchase one will make in their life, jumping into the market and competing against other aggressive bids can be intimidating. The last thing anyone would want when buying a home or property is to have regrets afterwards, especially for those first time home buyers. Here are some tips to consider for first time home buyers. Make sure to get Pre-Approved It would seem like it's a given, but many first time home buyers will assume they'll know how much they can spend on their home based on online mortgage calculators. It's important to setup a meeting with your bank or mortgage specialist, since they can provide information to you on what price range you should be looking in, and specifics to consider like property taxes, and other monthly expenses you'll want to factor in. Consider Renting for the Short-Term Despite all the good that comes in owning a house, such as building home equity, it's important to ask yourself how long you plan on staying in that house. If your long term plan is still not known because of your job, or personal situation, it may be better to rent in the short term. Buyers need to realize all of the expenses renters don't need to worry about like property taxes, and home owners insurance. This also isn't considering any unforeseen maintenance costs that could arise. Skipping the Home Inspection Many new home buyers may try to cut costs and skip out on a home inspection.

You're probably something of an expert in your own field-and that field probably isn't insurance or annuities. How, then, can you work through the minefield of clauses, guarantees, and pages of small print? Here are nine ways to start. While you may feel uncomfortable doing this, you're the one putting down thousands of dollars, and you have every right demand this. Remember: caveat emptor! It's the buyer who must beware; you must protect yourself. Ultimately, the language in the annuity contract is what matters, but it doesn't hurt to memorialize your verbal agreement with the agent in writing. Hopefully your agent is totally honest and will help write the agreement, and both parties can sign and date it. If the agent starts to waffle, trust your instincts.

On May 28 of this year, Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams charged a South Philadelphia auto body shop owner named Ronald Galati, Sr. and a group of 40 co-conspirators in a nearly $5 million insurance fraud scheme. These charges were the result of a 16-month Grand Jury investigation of American Collision and Auto Center at 1930 S. 20th St. According to prosecutors, Galati would stage single-vehicle accidents because insurance companies consider them "no-fault" and routinely pay the claims without raising the car owners' premiums. According to Grand Jury witnesses, Galati would say, "I live my life to cheat insurance companies." Among those arrested were a former Philadelphia police officer, Douglas DiEmidio, and a mechanic with the city's Office of Fleet Management, Robert Otterson.

If a tree falls in your yard, your insurance agent might not hear it. You probably bought your home policy years ago, then stuffed it in a file somewhere. Will it be there for you when you need it? Here's how to protect yourself: 1. You'll probably have to fight to get a big claim paid. Homeowners who suffer a loss of $30,000 or more get the most pushback from their insurers over damages, coverage and slow payouts, ShopSmart's recent survey data shows. But the coverage of huge losses is exactly why you buy home insurance. Protect yourself. You can cut your odds of a fight by doing business with an insurer that pays its claims. The best carriers for claim-payment satisfaction are Amica, Auto-Owners and USAA, according to the most recent Consumer Reports National Research Center survey of 9,905 subscribers who filed homeowner claims from 2010 through the first six months of 2013.

Few personal milestones compel someone to buy life insurance coverage like becoming a parent. In the event of an untimely death, life insurance can serve as a financial safety net to ensure there's money available to pay for everything from medical bills to a home mortgage and future college education costs. Many Americans have taken steps to line up such a financial cushion. At the end of 2012, 146.2 million individual life insurance policies were in effect, with coverage totaling $11.2 trillion, according to the American Council of Life Insurers. Yet the distribution model has changed during the past few decades, and fewer Americans are relying on local financial advisers in their community to look at their overall financial situation and recommend a life insurance strategy, said Brian Bulakites, national sales manager for life insurance for Henrico County-based insurance company Genworth Financial Inc. The Internet has enabled consumers to shop more widely for insurance, but it might also cost them the face-to-face advice that can be helpful, he said. "The biggest thing we see in our industry today is that people don't have advisers," he said. "You want to find an adviser that you can build a relationship with - somebody that you can trust."

Save money and get the right insurance coverage for your business with these tips. * Premiums for fire, casualty and burglary insurance on business property are all deductible for tax purposes as trade or business expenses. If a business taxpayer has a self-insurance plan, however, all payments into the self-insurance reserve will not be tax-deductible for purposes; the actual losses incurred by the taxpayer would be the deductions. * Premiums for life-insurance are tax-deductible. But premiums paid on a policy covering the life of an officer, employee or other key person are not deductible if the business is a direct or indirect beneficiary under the policy. Premiums paid on a life insurance policy of which the business is a beneficiary are not deductible, since life-insurance proceeds would not have to be included in taxable income when received by the company. Other Tips * Before speaking with an insurance representative, write down a clear statement of your expectations. * Do not withhold any important information from your insurance representative about your business and its exposure to loss. Treat the individual as a professional helper. * Get at least three competitive bids using brokers, direct agents and independent agents. Note the interest that the representative takes in loss prevention and suggestions for specialty coverage. * Avoid duplication and overlap in policies; you will be paying for insurance you do not need. * Ask your insurance firm if it's an "admitted insurance company." If so, it should have a solvency fund should a catastrophe put the insurance company in danger of going under. An unadmitted carrier has no such solvency fund. * The small businessperson should not consider any form of self-insurance. The pool of funds necessary to safely insure losses is extraordinarily large
