Insurance scams are nothing new. In Ancient Greece, people “scuttled” ships, purposely sinking them to collect money for their “loss.” Learn more about modern day “scuttlers” and stay protected with great info from RK Chevrolet.

Keep your cool – plus pen, paper and disposable cameras in your vehicles to defeat auto insurance scam artists.

In staged rear end collisions, drivers slam on brakes to cause accidents and fake injuries. Some deliberately create extra damage to their cars, afterwards, to collect more insurance.

Here are safe driving tips:

  • Be aware. Observe drivers who are watching you closely.
  • Leave plenty of room between your car and the one ahead of you.
  • If a car waves you over to a lane – but it looks tight – don’t switch lanes. They may be collaborating with another driver.
  • If an accident occurs, write down all you remember.
  • Take photos of your car and the other vehicle.
  • Tell your insurance agent about your suspicions. They’ve heard this before and can help you.
