Insurance Fraud: Discussion

Mr. Pat Lordan:

Before that, all frauds across the spectrum were recorded as deception or theft other. They were going into different categories of theft and fraud. Basically, we saw an increase in the different areas of fraud, one being insurance fraud. There are many other areas. These include: the letting of properties, bogus collectors, romance fraud, invoice redirect and business email compromise. We have set up a separate drop-down menu on the PULSE system for those.

There are now more than 20 categories on the PULSE system and insurance fraud is one of them.
