Economic impact of insurance fraud scam alert

Insurance fraud is not just a problem for insurers and policyholders; it has far-reaching economic consequences that affect the entire industry and beyond. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective strategies to combat fraud and protect economic interests.

Fraudulent claims drive up insurance premiums, leading to increased costs for consumers and businesses alike.
