Fraud Alert

Insurers like Travelers work very hard to fight insurance fraud. Travelers feels that every dollar they can keep out of the hands of criminals will benefit Traveler's customers, their business partners, and ultimately, the entire U.S. economy.

That's why they wanted to make everyone aware of a scam involving bogus checks with Travelers name and what appears to be a Travelers claim number.

Here are the details: To date, about 250 people have received a letter purporting to be from "Indemnity Financial - A Subsidiary of Travelers Indemnity Company" and containing a counterfeit Travelers Insurance Company check. The letter informs the victim they have won either a "North American Prize Pool" valued at $250,000 or a $65,000 Readers Digest / Publishers Clearing House Online Sweepstakes. The letter also references a "claim number" which is not a valid Travelers claim number. The letter instructs recipients to call a phone number, where they are advised to deposit the check to their bank account and wire the funds to an individual in Canada. They have also learned that other insurance companies' names have been used in the same scam.

If you receive a check from "Travelers Indemnity Company" accompanied by a request similar to this one, please do not deposit the check. You should contact their local law enforcement authority instead. By being alert to this scam, you may be able to help others avoid being victimized by criminals who are using Travelers' name to prey on the public. If you have any questions, you can contact KWJONES@Travelers.com.
