Fake Hasidic Jews, Cow in a Coffin, More in Top Insurance Scams of 2011

Each year the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud dishonors the years most brazen, vicious or hapless convicted insurance criminals. Here are the top 9 of 2011.

By Staff Writer | Updated on January 18, 2012

A cash-strapped businessman torches his home, then massacres five people to keep witnesses from testifying. A cop shoots himself to steal workers’ comp money. Two scammers stuff a coffin with a mannequin and cow parts to invent a dead person for a million-dollar life-insurance payout.

These are among the extreme schemers elected to the Insurance Fraud Hall of Shame sponsored by the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.
