What does the insurance fraud hotline do?
Do you suspect insurance fraud? If so, you can always report it to the insurance fraud hotline. Many people don't know where to report insurance fraud and therefore don't do it.

But what does the insurance fraud hotline actually do?
The Central Reporting Point Netherlands
The Netherlands has more than a thousand different hotlines, helplines and help desks. Therefore, in 2016 one central hotline was launched: the Central Hotline Netherlands. This gathers all relevant and reliable hotlines. Visitors can click through the website to the required hotline so they can quickly make a report. So through the Central Reporting Point Netherlands, you can report not only insurance fraud, but all kinds of incidents, including discrimination, cybercrime, nuisance and domestic violence, among others.
Report insurance fraud to the Insurance Crime Control Center (CBV)
You can also report insurance fraud directly to the Center for Combating Insurance Crime. The CBV is a division of the Dutch Association of Insurers. They help insurers combat all kinds of insurance crime. You can file a report at [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 obtained the information.
Why should I report insurance fraud?
Many people find it difficult to report suspicions of insurance fraud. Not only because they are not sure where to do so, but also because they do not want to wrongfully accuse someone. Nevertheless, it is always wise to report suspicions of insurance fraud. After all, you yourself are the victim of insurance fraud. The more fraud occurs, the higher the insurance premiums are.
Thus, you may always report a suspicion, no matter what type of insurance fraud it is. The insurer then conducts an investigation to see if it is indeed insurance fraud. This way, they gather 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 simply through the Netherlands Central Reporting Point or the CBV. Even if you report it to an insurer, you can often remain anonymous. In addition, you can report it through Report Crime Anonymously. Report Crime Anonymously is an independent hotline where you can anonymously provide information about various types of crime and delinquency.
