Ron,I applaud your getting involved in putting this shyster out of business,but also admire your savvy in smelling a possible rat when phoned from Oregon.It is not unlike many of these squirrels to phone representing someone else,only to sue you for defamation if anything is said that could even remotely be construed as derogatory.Sort of the multiscam approach to wealth accumulation.I had an employee in my business a few years back who supposedly developed an allergy to latex gloves,and wanted to go on disability.My insurance company called,and wanted me to take a day away from work to attend the hearing.Reluctantly I went,knowing as a sole proprietor it would be expensive to close for the day.My insurance company sent a pair of absolutely stunning Ice Queens to question this gal,and I mean the temperature of the room dropped 30 degrees when they entered.They scared me,and they were on my side!They smelled blood,and I can't describe the carnage!It turned out that this gal had been working with four different names and ssn's to cover her tracks.She had other claims,but even in this State was unlucky enough to hit the same insurance company twice.The judge at the hearing was loving it,and could hardy suppress the smirk on his face.They told her that not only would she never be able to make another claim in California,if she tried she would be prosecuted for fraud with intent.They also guaranteened she would be liable to pay back every dime she had ever been granted from the insurance companies,and would be forced to pay back the State for all they had payed out in "retraining" and welfare benefits.Hopefully none here will ever have to be involved in this nonsense,but getting involved did make a difference in this case.
