Now that we’ve started 2016 with a bang (no pun intended from our industry!) it’s always interesting for us to see some facts that derived from the previous year. Earlier this month, the Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) unveiled its Top Five Frauds of 2015. When the insurance corporation comes across a suspicious claim, the files are actually reviewed in more detail by MPI’s Special Investigation Unit. The efforts of this special unit resulted in a savings of $7.6 million for Manitoba auto insurance rate payers!

From fictional car collisions to stuffing their cars with hay and setting it on fire, some of these attempts are quite comical. Have a read to see who made their Top Five Frauds list.
