Scams involving false traffic accidents caused losses exceeding 70 thousand euros by June, according to data reported by the GNR. The military authorities warned about the growing sophistication of the methods used by scammers in simulating accidents.
The GNR identified an increase in the complexity of frauds, where the perpetrators use increasingly elaborate techniques to deceive insurance companies and obtain undue compensation. This trend worries the authorities who monitor the phenomenon.
Scams with false accidents frequently involve organized networks that carefully plan the incidents, simulating collisions and damage that did not actually occur. The reported losses refer to the period between January and June of the year in question.
The authorities continue to strengthen the monitoring and investigation of these crimes, alerting to the need for vigilance on the part of both insurance companies and drivers who may be used as fake victims in these frauds.
