Drivers targeted by clip for cash scams
The Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) and City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) are warning drivers to watch out for a new type of crash for cash scam, dubbed clip for cash, which has been spreading across the country. Unlike traditional crash for cash scams where fraudsters cause a collision, this involves scammers accusing drivers of clipping their wing mirror, before becoming threatening and demanding cash up front.
