\u201cInsurance fraud drives up the overall cost for everyone and undermines consumer trust and the integrity of the insurance process,\u201d said Pranay Mittal, Vice President of Travelers Investigative Services. \u201cBy raising awareness of the many forms these threats can take, and equipping individuals and businesses with the tools they need to recognize and prevent fraud, we can create a more secure marketplace together.\u201d<\/p>\n
A recent Travelers survey indicates businesses<\/b> are primarily concerned about medical provider schemes involving coordinated networks of health care professionals; digital scams affecting business systems and data; and employee fraud occurring within organizations. Separately, consumers<\/b> were concerned with contractor fraud<\/a> and pre-planned car accidents that target individuals.<\/p>\n \u201cCriminals keep getting smarter and more sophisticated, and the resulting insurance fraud costs the industry and everyday consumers hundreds of billions of dollars each year,\u201d said David J.
