Beware of unsolicited insurance communications
As we all seek to deal in the best way possible with the ongoing Covid-19 restricted environment we find ourselves in, many unscrupulous business practices have sprung up across a number of industries some of which are affecting both businesses and individuals alike. Criminals are sensing an opportunity to take advantage during this unprecedented period of change.
The insurance industry is also not immune from fraudsters and we are seeing a rise in the number of bogus insurance businesses and within that, “ghost” insurance brokers being formed. These businesses do not have clients’ interests at the heart of all they do. Interestingly in none of the cases that have been uncovered has the “ghost” insurance broker purported to be a Chartered organisation, possibly because of the easy check that can be done around this status and of course the rigorous rules for entry to obtain this accolade.
