Car Insurance Scammer Jailed – Rear End Shunter Shunted!
Car insurance scammer Mohammed Patel thought he was onto a winner when he was paid GBP500 per car for staging car accidents.
He earned himself GBP 46,000 staging 93 accidents in South Manchester UK, and bought luxury prestige cars with the proceeds for himself and his girlfriend.
It all went wrong for him yesterday when he was sentenced to four and a half years imprisonment for fraud.
The court heard that Patel was photographed by suspicious workers in a office block which overlooked a roundabout where accidents were occuring on a daily basis. The workers filmed Patel staging rear end shunts by deliberately braking hard in front of other vehicles, sometimes up to three times in one day.
He would then exchange the details of the car owner for who he was employed with the unsuspecting motorist. The car would then be taken away to a garage where much more serious damage was inflicted on it before the claim was put in to the car insurance company…..
The police are still hunting the other members of the gang who arranged the insurance frauds.
The UK Insurance Fraud bureau estimate that GBP 350 million pounds is stolen each year in fraudulent car insurance claims adding an estimated 40 to every car insurance policy sold in the UK…..
