5 reasons your car might be uninsurable and 5 Craziest Stories of Insurance Fraud

5. The slip and fall artist

Isabel Parker, a 73-year-old grandmother, had a 15-year career as a master of the slip and fall fraud. In retail stores throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey she would lie on the ground and claim to have fallen over a lamp cord or sidewalk crack hoping for an easy insurance payout. She would avoid stores with cameras and generally drop the claim if investigators started asking too many questions. She reportedly had almost 50 aliases she used over the time period and managed to collect half a million dollars from her schemes. She was finally caught when a liquor store owner questioned her claims and the investigation revealed her previous fraud activity.
