Being an active project manager can help you avoid fraud, whether it's from an exaggerated insurance claim, or a contractor who overbills your insurance company for restoration work.

How to Report Fraud

If you know of or suspect insurance fraud, alert your insurance representative. Or, you can anonymously report fraud to IBC using its confidential online form or by calling 1-877-IBC-TIPS (1-877-422-8477), which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Canada’s home, car and business insurers are always developing new ways to fight insurance fraud. IBC’s fraud alerts can help you recognize current scams.
