Amador County – Amador County District Attorney Todd Riebe announced Friday the results of a three day joint operation which resulted in the discovery of one potential auto insurance fraud investigation and four misdemeanor violations of the Vehicle Code and/or Business and Professional Code. Investigators inspected 45 licensed and unlicensed businesses in Amador and Calaveras counties.
The objectives of the outreach operation were to uncover cases of automobile insurance fraud, insure compliance with workers’ compensation laws and to enhance public awareness as well as the awareness of each particular business in staying in compliance. “Businesses who defraud the system gain an unfair advantage in the marketplace over law-abiding businesses. Operations such as this are designed to hold fraudulent businesses accountable, ultimately saving consumers money and preventing future victims,” said Riebe. The operation, which took place over a three day period from June 22 to 24, was a combined effort by investigators from the Amador County District Attorney’s Office, the California Department of Insurance, Fraud Division, the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and the Bureau of Automotive Repair. The operation also worked in conjunction with the District Attorney’s Workers’ Compensation Fraud Unit to check for proper Workers’ Compensation insurance. If you are aware or suspect Automobile or Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fraud, contact the Amador County District Attorney’s Office at 209-223-6444.
