Fraud is not a “victimless crime”
When fraudulent claims are made by clients who are insured, it reduces the amount of resources available and inevitably this will result in the necessity of increased premiums for everyone. Fraud, corruption and theft by anyone, whether clients or company employees, is a betrayal of a legal relationship that impacts on us all.
