What does the insurance fraud hotline do?
Do you suspect insurance fraud? If so, you can always report it to the hotline for insurance fraud. Many people do not know where they can report insurance fraud and therefore do not do so. As a result, cases of insurance fraud are not investigated and fraudsters can continue with what they are doing. Reporting insurance fraud is very easy via the contact point for insurance fraud. But what does the hotline for insurance fraud actually do?
The Netherlands Central Dispatch Center
The Netherlands has more than a thousand different hotlines, helplines and helpdesks. Therefore, in 2016, one central hotline was launched: the Central Hotline Netherlands. On it, all relevant and reliable reporting points are collected. Visitors can click through to the required hotline via the website, so that they can quickly file a report. Through the Central Reporting Point Netherlands, you can therefore not only report insurance fraud, but all kinds of incidents, including discrimination, cybercrime, nuisance and domestic violence.
Reporting insurance fraud to the Centre for Combating Insurance Fraud (CBV)
You can also report insurance fraud directly to the Centre for Combating Insurance Fraud (CBV). The CBV is a department of the Dutch Association of Insurers. They help insurers combat all kinds of insurance crime. You can report this via [email protected] or call 070-333 85 00. You can also report insurance fraud directly to the insurer. The insurer will then ask for the personal details of the person or persons involved, the type of insurance fraud and how you came by the information.
Why should I report insurance fraud?
Many people find it difficult to report suspicions of insurance fraud. Not only because they don't know where to start, but also because they don't want to accuse someone unfairly. Nevertheless, it is always wise to report suspicions of insurance fraud. After all, you yourself are also the victim of insurance fraud. The more fraud there is, the higher the insurance premiums will be.
So you can always report a suspicion, no matter what kind of insurance fraud it is. The insurer will then launch an investigation to see whether it is indeed insurance fraud. In this way, they collect evidence against the fraudster and can prove insurance fraud.
Report insurance fraud anonymously
You always have the option of reporting insurance fraud anonymously. This can be done via the Dutch Central Reporting Point or the CBV. Even if you report it to an insurer, you can often remain anonymous. You can also report it via Report Crime Anonymously. Report Crime Anonymously is an independent reporting point where you can anonymously report various types of crime.
