Man faked own cremation for $1.5m

Some people just go too far…

SOUTH Korean police have arrested a man who faked his own death – and cremation – to secure insurance payouts totalling 1.8 billion won ($1.5 million).

Police said a man surnamed Chung, 51 and his wife, Ahn, 49, hatched the scheme after their business in Indonesia ran into trouble.

The wife made life insurance claims to six Korean companies after reporting that her husband had died in a motorcycle accident on Batam island in Indonesia.

The Korea Times said the couple bribed Indonesian doctors to supply a death certificate and submitted it to the Korean embassy in Jakarta.

Ahn also videotaped a “cremation ceremony” for Chung to bolster her claim.

A policewoman in Seoul’s Namdaemun district said they have also issued a warrant for the couple’s nephew as an accessory to the fraud.

“There have been a few insurance frauds faking death in Korea, but this was the first time for such a case abroad,” she said, declining to be identified.

Insurance scams are common in South Korea, with the number of fake claims rising amid the economic downturn.

In a case reported by police in April, a woman who held a funeral for her husband after claiming he was lost at sea scammed insurers out of $800,000 before he was found alive and well.

  15. Laminate flooring is an inexpensive type of flooring that offers the consumer many benefits and is relatively easy to install.
    Before getting started here is a pro and a con of laminate flooring. Laminate flooring gives your floor that overall look of wood that can be enjoyed for years to come.
