I’m struggling to see how this scam is actually supposed to work - if your car sustains damage, wouldn’t your insurance just cover the cost to repair that damage, meaning you are just back at square one?
I think once the check is cut the car is never fixed. Instead you find an unscrupulous body shop willing to fabricate an invoice for the insurance company for a share of the payout.
I guess you’d still have a scratched car at that point, though. Maybe you need to combine it with a dishonest repair shop massively inflating the bill, along with an insurance company that doesn’t pay enough attention.
