Insurance fraud or false insurance claims are insurance claims filed with the intent to defraud an insurance company. While it is difficult to estimate the prevalence of petty examples of this, some spectacular examples have been documented.

  • Former British Government minister John Stonehouse went missing in 1974 from a beach in Miami. He was discovered living under an assumed name in Australia.
  • Derek Nicholson and Nikole Nagle were accused of attempting to defraud a life insurance company for $1 million after Mr Nicholson apparently went missing in New Jersey in July 2003 and Ms Nagle reported him missing and made a claim on the policy.
