Fraud Files: Fake ID's and Phony Claims
In this edition of Fraud Files we focus on Hani Abujudeh, 55, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, who was the leader of an auto insurance fraud scheme, and was sentenced to six years in state prison. Abujudeh was involved in a scheme where he filed over 35 fraudulent claims, manipulated used car odometers and vehicle titles to make the vehicles appear more valuable and then used false identities of other victims to sell those cars on Craigslist and Auto Trader to unsuspecting customers.
