buy flight delay or cancellation insurance,
and then claim! story and photograph from The Paper, identified
only as Li, the 45-year-old woman from Nanjing reportedly used 20 other
identities in addition to her own to take out almost 900 flight delay insurance
policies from 2015 to 2019, some
Chinese outlets reported that the woman conducted research before deciding
which flights to buy tickets on, checking for extreme weather or other
delay-inducing events on flight routes, and consulting user reviews, according
to The Paper, Li was fully aware that what she was doing was illegal, and she
did everything she could to cover her tracks, using the identities of several
friends and family when taking out the flight delay policies, the woman’s arrest was announced by Chinese police on Friday,
June 12; Authorities revealed that the 45-year-old had long faked information
related to flight delays and scammed large sums of money from insurance
companies. An investigation is currently underway, The Paper reports that Li’s
exploits helped insurance companies close some of the loopholes that helped the
woman carry out her illegal scheme. Many insurers now have provisions which
state, among other things, that compensation may only be paid to people who actually
used the booked flight, and how much money was involved? 3 million yuan, at today's rate £338,090 or $423,921 in profits over the course of 4 years! remember this is illegal, so do not do it, but it must have seemed a great idea at the time!
