Attempted Insurance Fraud, or, More Foibles From st.cronin's Place of Work

[st.cronin]

At least once a week, I have this conversation with somebody:

"My car was hit in your parking lot."

"Ok, well we have 100% camera coverage in that lot, I can pull up the footage and we can figure out who hit you."

"NO, I don't want to look at no camera footage. I want you to cut me a check, so we don't have to get insurance companies involved. You don't want your rates to go up, do you?"

"Um, you really think I'm going to write you a check without looking to see what happened?"

"Ok, never mind. Why do you have to be such a jerk?"

do you notify the authorities?

odd that you would keep having that same conversation with that person. it's like groundhog day.

Is it technically insurance fraud if they're just trying to get the money from you?

[st.cronin]

do you notify the authorities?

I leave it up to the guy, and invariably they decline. I often go back and look at the footage, mostly out of curiosity, and 100% of the time its either nothing happened or the guy complaining was actually the one at fault.

I don't know what else to call it. Extortion, maybe?
