Insurance Fraud

Insurance fraud occurs in different forms. Sometimes it can be through the sale of false and non-existent insurance policies by fraudulent agents or companies. Other times, it can occur through a dishonest insurance agent who collects premiums from a customer and does not pass it on or report it to the insurance company. Unfortunately, all too often the scam is only discovered when it is too late and a customer needs to make a claim on the policy that does not exist. 

If you do not receive a copy of your policy in a timely manner, please take steps and check with the insurance company you have been told the policy is being issued from, to see if your premiums have been paid and applied to your policy.

Suspected Fake Policies

QBE has been made aware that there are individuals who have been approached by fraudulent agents and/or companies that claim to sell and issue false insurance policies from QBE. These fraudulent agents and/or companies use QBE’s brand on fabricated documentation that is issued to unsuspecting victims. In some instances, we understand that the fraudulent agents and/or companies have been claiming to sell an insurance product that QBE does not underwrite. 

We would like to alert members of the public so that you may be better informed and take steps to protect yourself and/or your company. Click here to see a sample of what the false and fabricated documentation may look like.

What can you do to prevent being a victim of fraud?

Stop. Call. Confirm. If you are unsure about an insurance agent or company:

  1. Stop before signing any paperwork or issuing payment;
  2. Call the insurance company which can be easily reached by phone; and
