^-----This was in your state. How did you miss this hilarity filled story?

 

[chanel]

Wow. Thanks art. I don't know how I missed it. NJ.com is my #1 news place.

A few years ago some students told me a story about a couple of their classmates who would "lay on the street" waiting for a car to hit them. They considered it a game of "chicken" but also knew they could "get rich" if they were hit. It didn't occur to them they might die.

All I could think was "This is what happens when cousins marry".

 

[strollingbones]

or this is what happens when people are desperate......sad story

 

[chanel]

Insurance fraud is only sad for those who have to pick up the tab.

I wonder if they drew straws to see who got his hand chopped off.

as opposed to being a short fat ugly old hairball who likes to fuck his 18 year old maid.....i hope you do give the poor girl use of a Lint Roller....im sure she can use one after you foul the poor girl.....

Back in the day anyone could insure anyone for no reason at all.

It ended up leading to murder.



Me and you get together, we deside we need a million and the easiest way to do that is too insure a 3rd person. we find anyone with id, but a policy on him, naming ourselves to get the benefits. We kill 3rd man, get double the policy b/c we paid for the accidental death/dismemberment.

In dismemberment, the insured also gets paid. Which leads too.....


Now the reason they may have all 3 gone in together; When you pay a premium, you sometimes have to wait for things to mature. With a policy, if you suicide within 2 years, only what you paid in is given back. 2 years and a day, it's paid with the ADD, if any.

so what they probably did, was pool money, to get a single pay policy.

and seriously, if a $14trillion a year industry didn't think people would do that....

It's illegal to sell body parts in the US but many companies that sell accident insurance policies freely post their awards for injuries. Look at the brochure sometime, they actually list what you would get if you you lost a body part. Maybe it's tempting for a drunk or a dumb ass destitute person to figure how he could swindle the insurance companies.

 

[strollingbones]

my biggest shock...they used a pole saw?

ouchie....i wonder how many oxxies it takes to do this?

 

[strollingbones]

defrauding insurance companies is a favored game of many scammers....insurance agencies simply pay many due to paying being cheaper than fighting it....you can lay the blame of much of this right on the insurers door step but of course that wont happen......its forbidden to put people before profit

[Skull Pilot]

i would not sell one finger for a billion dollars. no way.

Really?

I'll sell the little finger off my right hand for one percent of that. I wouldn't even have to think about that decision for a nanosecond.
