Application and ghost broking motor fraud up 64% at Aviva

The provider detailed the numbers included policies sold by ghost brokers.
Ghost broking has been a high-profile problem for the insurance industry in recent years. This Spring police officers from the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department served nine cease and desist notices over a two-week period to help tackle ghost brokers.
Aviva’s update came as it reported a 39% increase in the number of claims declined as a result of fraud in 2023.
