The Veterinarian’s Car Got Stolen Eight Times in Thirteen Years…Busted for Insurance Fraud

Trying to SCAM the systems here!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The forty-seven-year-old Chen was accused of insuring his own imported car on thefts and the recovery insurances, then he’d hidden his car away, and gotten his car involved in fake accidents to scam the insurance companies.  The Taipei District Attorney’s Office found that he’d scammed successfully three times out of a total of eight tries, and received a total of over $7.8 million N.T.s, charged him with fraud.

The investigations showed that Chen originally worked as a veterinarian, worked in the Department of Diseases Prevention and for Animal Protections, and for years he’d bought many imported cars, and insured his cars with the insurance companies in high amounts, then, parked his car next to his residence in Hsinchu, or inside the old farmhouse of his parents’ home in Miaoli, and lied that his car had been stolen, to make the fraudulent claims, then used fake license plate on his car.

In 2006, Chen reported his SUV stolen twice, but both times, his car was, recovered by the police, and by the third time in 2008, he’d reported it stolen, and the car wasn’t found, and he’d received the insurance payments.

In October of 2013, Chen reported one of his imported car stolen, was recovered by the police, and the following month, he’d reported the car stolen again, and six months later, he’d, found his “stolen” car back.

In 2014, 2016, and 2019, he’d reported two cars being stolen, and received the insurance payoffs, he’d had a man to go receive his insurance payments, and drove one of his sports cars into his family’s home to hide it.  As the police and investigators found out, Chen made eight cases of fraudulent claims of insurance in 2006, and got paid off for three of these, and the rest of the claims, he wasn’t paid off, because the cars were all, recovered.

Chen not only falsely reported the cars missing, he’d even transferred his wife’s car under a dummy account, then, gotten involved in a set up accident, received $26,000N.T. in insurance payments.  At the end of the last year, the insurance companies started suspecting.  The police and district attorneys arrested Chen this March, confiscated three imported name brand cars, another altered gun, and five bullets.  Chen had paid back a little over seven million dollars N.T. he’d scammed the insurances, the D.A. withdrew the case, and indicted him yesterday on fraud, forgery, and gun and ammunition charges yesterday.

It’s NOT as if you’re not making enough money from working as a veterinarian, so, this is probably due to how he was successful in that very first attempt to scam the insurance companies, and, this man just thought it was, easy money, or that he got addicted to the thrills of not getting caught all those previous times, and this time he was, finally, CAUGHT, and he is charged!
