Fraud Alert!
Staged Auto Accident Fraud: Don’t Let it Happen to You
Consider this scenario:
You’re stuck in heavy traffic on a busy highway.
Another car cuts off the driver in front of you, forcing him to slam on the
brakes. You try to stop, but there’s no time … and you rear-end the guy in
front of you.
An everyday accident? Not this
time! Turns out you’ve been had by a
well-organized criminal ring that staged the entire thing.
This particular scam is called the
“swoop and squat.” (The first car “swoops”
in while the second car “squats” in front of you.) After the “accident,”
everyone in the car you rear-ended—usually crammed full of passengers—will
file bogus injury claims with your insurance company. Each will complain of
whiplash or other soft-tissue injuries—things difficult for doctors to
confirm.
Here is a similar scams to look out
for:
The drive down. You’re
attempting to merge when another driver waves you forward. Instead of
letting you in, he slams into your car. When the police arrive, he denies
ever motioning to you.
How can you protect yourself?
If you’re in an accident, call the
police immediately.
Report accident claims to your
insurance company.
Don’t settle on site with cash.
Be careful with your personal
information, mindful of identity theft.
If you can, photograph the car and
passengers and write down names, addresses, and phone numbers.
Use medical, car repair, and legal
professionals you know and trust.
Drive safely!

It has been brought to our
attention that some homeowners let their dogs run at large in the
neighborhoods of Warrington Township. We want to remind those of you who own

also for your pets.

Warrington Township property. Thank you for being responsible citizens and
good to your neighbors.
