Fraud / Scam Alerts
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has alerted tax professionals and their clients to stay vigilant against IRS phishing emails, free offers, and other common tricks by scammers. Currently, cybercriminals are combining several tactics to create a complex scheme that victimizes both tax professionals and taxpayers. The cybercriminal impersonates a legitimate cloud-based storage provider by sending an email that entices the tax professional to provide their login credentials. With access to the tax professional’s account, the cybercriminal steals client email addresses. The cybercriminal then impersonates the tax professional and sends emails to their clients, attaching a fake IRS insurance form and requesting that the form be completed and returned. The cybercriminal receives replies by fax and/or by an email very similar to the tax professional’s email – using a different email service provider or a slight variation to the tax professional’s address.
The subject line varies but may be “urgent information” or a similar request. The awkwardly worded text of the email states:
Dear Life Insurance Policy Owner,
Kindly fill out the form attached for your Life insurance or Annuity contract details and fax it back to us for processing in order to avoid multiple (sic) tax bill (sic).

Types of Insurance Fraud:
Underwriting Fraud
Occurs where an insurance application or supporting documentation contains a material misrepresentation or omission of facts bearing on the nature or extent of the risk for which coverage is sought. It induces the companies to rely upon the misrepresentations and issue coverage on terms that otherwise would not have been issued had the true facts been known. It is also fraud in underwriting for an impostor to present for examination.
Producer Fraud
Includes any scenario described above, if perpetrated primarily by a broker or agent, with or without the insured’s knowledge. It also includes instances where the producer steals the premium or had its license revoked or suspended but continues to engage in otherwise legitimate but unauthorized practices.
Internal Employee Fraud
Occurs where any alleged misconduct or suspicious, fraudulent, and/or illegal activity is suspected of being committed against Corebridge Financial by an employee who either acts alone or in concert with other third parties.

Occurs when any policyholder, beneficiary or other claimants materially misrepresents and/or omits information relevant to the insurer's pricing of risk and/or calculation of claims due and payables.
