- 1). Note why you think an individual's insurance claim is fraudulent and write down all the reasons you have for believing this. Falsely reporting a suspected crime is a waste of resources and could be illegal.
- 2). Gather evidence you have on hand to support your case. This could be documents, events you've observed or other statements you can attest to.
- 3). Take photo or video evidence that the claim is fraudulent, but only if you can do so without confronting the person filing the claim. Professionals who are trained and paid to take risks can do this once you've filed your report.
- 4). Contact the insurance company making payments on the claim. Inform it of your concerns and provide a formal statement including your evidence, if you are asked for it. If you don't know which company is involved, you can contact the Insurance Fraud Bureau. They will get the information to the right company.
- 5). Step back. Once you've reported the fraud, your best course of action is to stay out of it unless an insurance adjuster or private investigator contacts you for further information.
