Avoid Car Insurance Scam! (Part 1)

It is very important to equip yourself with knowledge about insurance accident scams to avoid being a victim. Here are a few tips on what to do to avoid car insurance scams:

• Make sure the tow truck has a municipal license number on its side before you use its services.

• See if the tow truck is affiliated with a reputable company such as an automotive roadside assistance group or automobile association.

• Ask if the tow truck has a police contract.

• Listen for obvious clues. Does the driver recommend a particular repair facility without being asked? If he/she does, this might be an indication that a referral fee arrangement exists.

• Carefully read everything the tow truck driver asks you to sign.
