Ghost insurance broker sentenced

Ghost broker who set up 133 false policies sentenced

A 33-year-old courier from Epsom has been sentenced after he admitted to setting up over 100 fraudulent car insurance policies for his unsuspecting ‘customers’ and defrauding his victims and insurance company out of a combined £89,000.

Ghost Brokers are fraudsters who sell drivers apparently cheap motor insurance deals but issue policies that aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

Typically, the scam works in one of two ways:

• Policies are bought from legitimate insurance companies using false information and then doctored before being sold on to customers
• Fake policy documents designed to look like they have been issued by legitimate insurance companies are created and sold on to customers

The consequences of buying a fake policy can be the same as having no policy at all:

• Your car may be seized by police
• You’ll pay a fixed penalty notice of £300
• You’ll have to buy valid insurance & pay at least £150 to get your car back from the pound
• You could be liable for any damage you cause while driving without insurance, which could include compensation if you injure someone
