A Car Insurance Scammer Was Caught On Dashcam After Staging A Crash

A man has been arrested in New York for INTENTIONALLY crashing into a woman as part of an insurance scam.

A woman was driving on the highway, when a gray car cut in front of her and slammed on the brakes. The woman was able to brake and avoid a crash, but then the gray car REVERSED INTO HER CAR, and pulled forward again.

The inhabitants of the gray car got out . . . acted like they’d been banged up . . . and took footage of the damage on their phones.

It’s apparently part of a scheme that’s been happening more frequently called the « Swoop and Squat Scam » . . . and the general idea is that people stage crashes like this, get insurance to pay out or threaten lawsuits, and split the proceeds.

But in this case, the victim had a dash-cam on her car, and it showed the whole thing: The car cutting in front of her . . . backing into her . . . and the theatrics after the people inside got out.

There was even another car involved that at least one of the perps got into after the accident to leave the scene.

The man that was arrested has been charged with: Staging a motor vehicle accident, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, conspiracy, and insurance fraud. He’s looking at up to seven years in prison.

In the dash-cam footage, a WOMAN was driving the scammers’ gray car, with a man in the passenger seat. It’s unclear if there are more arrests coming . . . or if the man was deemed to have been the instigator. But in any event, it sounds like more people believe they may have been victims of this scam.
