This year’s Top 5 Fraud list highlights bogus claims, the effective use of forensic tools and astute MPI staff. “MPI releases its annual top five fraud list to raise awareness about the costs related to auto insurance fraud – about $50 per customer yearly,” said MPI’s Chief Operating Officer, Curtis Wennberg. “The list is compiled based on the unique circumstances of each fraud, financial savings to MPI ratepayer, and investigative excellence in unearthing the fraudsters.”
