Insurance Investigators Arrest Pomona Woman in Bogus Insurance Policy Commission Scam

Posted on February 18, 2016

Pocketed more than $67,000 in illegal commissions

24997772511_bb2e639c76_kLOS ANGELES – On February 9, 2016, California Department of Insurance investigators arrested former licensed insurance agent Teresa Marie Davis, 53, of Pomona, on multiple counts of identity theft and grand theft in an alleged bogus life insurance policy scam in which she collected more than  $67,000 in illegal commissions.

“The illegal activity by some unscrupulous people in the insurance industry absolutely astounds me,” said California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) President Alan Barcelona.  “Investigators within the California Department of Insurance are very thorough in their investigations and, no matter how complex the case, see it through to prosecution and sentencing.”

Davis allegedly used the names of several businesses to establish employee payroll acknowledgements, which signified to the insurer that the businesses’ employees were eligible to apply for insurance policies. Davis is accused of using  fictitious business names and addresses to establish some of the payroll acknowledgements.

Using the fictitious information, Davis allegedly submitted 393 insurance applications between March-October 2011, using fictitious consumer information and addresses. Davis also used four peoples’ identities to apply for insurance policies and added fictitious addresses in order to conceal her crime.

Some of the people whose identities Davis used to submit fraudulent applications told investigators they did receive letters from the insurer about a policy, but disregarded it because they thought it was an error.

“This case is a warning to businesses and individuals on spotting potential identity theft,” said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. “Do not simply disregard mail you receive because you believe it’s an error; it could be the warning that something more serious is going on.”

The insurer became suspicious when premium notices were returned for invalid addresses and the applicants’ information turned out to also be fictitious. Davis received $67,534.23 in commissions by submitting fraudulent insurance applications.  Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 26 in Pomona Superior Court.
