Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE presents videos so you can learn how insurance fraud is perpetrated and what is necessary to deter or defeat insurance fraud. This Video Blog of True Crime Stories of Insurance Fraud with the names and places changed to protect the guilty are all based upon investigations conducted by me and fictionalized to create a learning environment for claims personnel, SIU investigators, insurers, police, and lawyers better understand insurance fraud and weapons that can be used to deter or defeat a fraudulent insurance claim.

True Crime & Insurance Fraud Number 35Fraud knows no boundaries. It matters not at all where the person comes from. It matters only that the person has a felonious heart.

Khlaed Amir Fahlavi, born in Tehran, raised in Liverpool, England, and a resident of Los Angeles, California, USA, had such a mind. He lived in London and Los Angeles. He earned a living making claim on British and American insurers. It surprised him how easy it was to commit fraud.

Khlaed’s life of crime started innocently enough. At Heathrow International Airport, outside London he dropped a few extra pound coins into a machine and purchased a travel policy from the machine. Although the trip was uneventful, he tested the policy by reporting the loss of one bag. With a minimum of effort Khaled received a £1,200 check. An insurance criminal was born.

On his next trip to London Khaled found two policemen waiting outside his parents’ flat on Half Moon Street. They arrested him on the spot, tried him at the Old Bailey and sentenced him to three years in jail for defrauding the English and North American.

With knowledge of the English trial, the Los Angeles District Attorney filed criminal charges against the administrators, chiropractors and therapists at Khaled’s clinics and confiscated $500,000 in cash and assets gained from his fraud activities.

Khaled served his time. He did not dare return to California where multiple counts of insurance fraud, mail fraud and tax evasion awaited him.

Khaled now operates the cash register at the gift shop of the Hard Rock Cafe – London, on Piccadilly where he earns 3 pounds per hour.
