One of the greatest challenges insurance companies face is the ferreting out of insurance fraud. Wherever there is a chance that someone can get paid for submitting a fraudulent claim, there are also stupid people who are willing to give it a try.

Here are some recent examples:

1. The Charging Bull

NEW HAVEN, CT: Connecticut state investigators say have charged a New Haven man with felony fraud after he was spotted running a 40-yard dash in a race sponsored by a local radio station. The man was collecting worker’s compensation from alleged injuries sustained as a prison guard…otherwise known as a “bull.” He entered a not-guilty plea.

2. Wrestler pleads guilty to faking injury

PENNSYLVANIA: The state Attorney General said that a man tried to make a claim for injuries from a slip and fall in a Seven Eleven store. But then investigators found out that the man is a professional wrestler with the name “Mr. Motion,” and is trained to fake falls and injuries. The man pleaded guilty and got three years probation.
