Protecting Yourself Against Insurance Scams

Insurance scams can take many forms. Here are a few tips on how to avoid them:

• Beware of any email message that claims to be from your insurance company and that asks you to confirm or give certain personal information. This could be a scam to obtain information about your personal finances and could lead to identity theft.
  
  
• Do not pay your premiums through a money transfer or money wiring service. This is not a normal practice and could be a scam to get you to buy fake insurance.
