APPS TO DISTORT
REAL-LIFE IMAGES,
VIDEOS AND DOCUMENTS
THE LATEST BIG SCAM
TO HIT THE INSURANCE
INDUSTRY
Allianz has noted a 300% increase
(2022 to 2023) in cases where apps
were used to distort real-life images,
videos and documents, calling it the
latest big scam to hit the insurance
industry.
The insurer said personal lines business
has reported a 29% increase in fraud
prevention in 2023 compared to the
previous year. This spans across all
types of insurance fraud from motor
claims, home claims and application
fraud, and the notable rise of ghost
brokers and their tactics to lure
innocent victims into a fake insurance
policy.
In one case, an individual had a picture
of his van posted on his social media
page as part of his business, and had
a claim pursued in his name for an
accident that never took place.
LV= received images of his vehicle
from the fraudsters, showing the front
bumper had been cracked in the
alleged accident, along with a false
repair invoice totalling over £1,000.
Noticing concerns with the claim,
LV=’s fraud team investigated the case,
identifying the image was identical to
the one found on social media but with
the addition of photo editing.
However, it’s not just photo editing
that poses a problem for the insurance
industry, but also other emerging
technologies, including AI and the rise
of deep fakes. The rapidly changing
nature of these fraudulent activities
pose big risks to UK consumers, said
Allianz.
Allianz also reported a rise in moped
crash for cash fraud.
