  1. How about the scam of insurance? In the USA there is no legal requirement for an insurance company to actually pay a legitimate claim. Each state has its own insurance regulations and these change based on each state. Generally the insurance company use the following scheme: Deny, Delay and Minimize. A denied claim requires that you hire an attorney who legally are not reimbursed for the significant legal work they do to try to get the insurance company to be honest and pay the claim. One result is that most attorneys will only sue an insurer if someone has been seriously injured or killed. If the injured person is of lower income or is killed the insurer pays less. There is no requirement to pay for the increase in inflation. Go and wait ten years to get paid with inflated dollars and subtract the legal costs from that. How many claims "professionals" go to prison for lying, cheating or not paying legitimate claims? None! Insurance fraud is a serious crime yet there are no laws against insurer fraud. Why?

  2. Thank you! The old adage "Lie to me once shame on you, lie to me twice shame on me" fits your Scam #1. My Cable ISP has lied, cheated and actually stolen repeatedly. Whose fault is that ? You can't put a corproation in prison for these crimes. I blame myself for allowing this deception. I just cancelled my internet provider and will rely on a different lying group of snakes. The only good thing is my new ISP has not lied to me ( as far as I can know). So goodbye Scamcast!
