What with food poisoning and corruption on the same thread, I can't resist using one of the late, great Jimmy Savile's favourite lines:
A fish rots from the head down.
I fear insurance scams are as old as insurance itself. That said, from around (what?) the late eighties or early nineties the rise of whiplash claims seemed to be accompanied by the middle classes happily justifying their own greed. People who'd never so much as had a parking ticket, and wouldn't dream of buying contraband cigs, would talk about a burglary claim: "Just add an extra camera to the claim. You pay enough in premiums don't you?" Which I suppose just goes to illustrate the first point.
md mentioned 'there are so many...they can't all be lying'.
This is the key to the whole thing. It seems that most ordinary decent people, who may not have taken the time to read JK's story, or other similar ones, seem to be unable to get past this. But when we know that the original accusers were dirty liars, how should we treat all those who say, "Me too"? |

And that is just the ones they know about!
Something I hear often is: 'there are so many...they can't all be lying'. I think the ones they don't know about becomes particularly worrying when cases are bundled together and similar fact evidence is used. The inspiration for my comment earlier on this thread came from an article I saw relating to the Bill Cosby allegations.

Citing data from the Association of British Insurers (ABI), a Press Association report published by Yahoo Finance today reveals that 562,000 scams were detected by insurance companies in 2017. The figure is made up of dishonest insurance applications (449,000) – a big chunk of which came from motor – and fraudulent claims (113,000).
I wonder how many people who make false allegations of sexual abuse have also committed insurance fraud, benefit fraud, etc. |

Food poisoning seems to have evidence highlighting how many British actually lie for money. Not all - as a large number 9000 mentioned holidaying. So most do not deliberately lie for money or least not the food poisoning scam. So numbers or a lot of written pages proves nothing in truth but with no evidence to back up claims but to the contrary is further proof that large numbers make false allegations especially where money and lawyers are involved.
We already know that a lot of people are dishonest from all the insurance scams.
