At Nasoha Ltd, we are committed to preventing and detecting insurance fraud to protect our customers, maintain the integrity of our services, and comply with UK regulations. This Fraud Prevention Policy outlines the steps we take to identify, investigate, and report fraudulent activity.
1. What is Insurance Fraud?
Insurance fraud occurs when an individual or entity intentionally deceives an insurer for financial gain. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Application Fraud – Providing false or misleading information when applying for insurance.
- Claims Fraud – Submitting false or exaggerated claims, including staged accidents or forged medical reports.
- Policy Misrepresentation – Failing to disclose pre-existing conditions or relevant risk factors.
- Identity Theft – Using stolen or fake identities to obtain insurance or make fraudulent claims.
- Ghost Broking – Unauthorized individuals selling fake or invalid insurance policies.
Insurance fraud is a criminal offense in the UK and can result in prosecution, fines, and imprisonment.
2. How We Detect Fraud
We use advanced technology and manual review processes to detect suspicious activity. This includes:
- Automated fraud detection systems to identify anomalies in claims.
- Cross-referencing databases to verify customer information.
- Reviewing medical and financial records for inconsistencies.
- Working with fraud prevention agencies to share intelligence on fraudulent activities.
We cooperate with the Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) and Insurance Fraud Register (IFR) to track and prevent fraudulent claims.
3. Consequences of Insurance Fraud
If fraud is suspected or detected, we may:
- Reject the insurance claim and cancel the policy.
