The global insurance industry has been under severe threat from the fraudulent activities of Con Artists in the recent times. It has become all the more important to weigh & determine the origination & cause of such activities before it takes a heavier toll upon the various financial procedures & capital investments associated with the insurance processes. Threats to the Global Insurance Industry A Computer Savvy Generation: It could be easily perceived that today's computer savvy generation would be attracted towards applying & buying things online. This process doesn't necessarily invite a deep scrutiny of the nature and existence of such businesses. Hence they are more fraud-prone. The companies or insurance firms that they deal with are not always traceable. Insurance Scams Involving Immigrants: The diversity of ethnic population in the US being on the rise, it would help towards insurance crimes being conducted involving more of such communities. The inability to understand the legal loopholes within a policy and the lack of adequate English communication skills would surely make the situation worse for them. Senior Citizens To Fall Preys: A large section of the senior citizens being hearing impaired or with poor vision fall prey to the Con artists due to their inability to follow the policy agreement clauses properly. That is the reason more and more of them are investing at fake promissory notes & bogus viaticals which are being guaranteed by fraudulent & virtual insurance companies.
