In an effort to reduce the number of fraudulent insurance claims, the state's Insurance Fraud Bureau has established a Community Insurance Fraud Initiative in the city, unveiling billboards with a hot line number for local fraud tips. The announcement was made Monday at the site of one of the billboards at 430 Broadway.
"The IFB will dedicate one full-time investigator to this effort in Revere and will partner with the Revere Police Department to bring the full effect of the IFB's resources and databases to the community," said Daniel J. Johnston, executive director of the Insurance Fraud Bureau. "We are pleased to bring this program to Revere, and we recognize that this is not a one- or two-month project. We are dedicated to maintaining it into the future."
By combining the resources of the Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts, the Revere Police Department, the office of Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, and the office of the Massachusetts attorney general, officials are hoping to curb the abuse that drives up insurance premium costs for Revere residents.
