Financial Crimes investigators will be hosting their weekly #Fraudchat on Twitter from 1 to 2 p.m. today on the subject of insurance fraud.
Insurance fraud began when insurance first began. When automobiles were introduced it opened a whole new arena for fraudulent insurance claims. Today, with modern technology, there are more sophisticated organized crime rings that can be hard to detect.
Today, at 1 p.m., we will be joined by our special guest speaker from the Insurance Bureau of Canada to answer questions regarding Auto Insurance Scams. Members of the public can follow Insurance Bureau of Canada using the hashtag @Insurancebureau on twitter.
To follow #fraudchat, members of the public simply need to log on to Twitter from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and follow the #Fraudchat hashtag. An application such as "Tweetdeck," which allows users to separately view tweets containing this hashtag, is also helpful in following the chat.
