Report Fraud - Call the IFB CheatLine 0800 328 2550 IFIG: CLOSING IN ON THE CHEATS
Insurance Fraud Investigators Group is a Members’ Organisation dedicated to the detection and prevention of Insurance Fraud. It is a non-profit making organisation created to tackle the growing problem of Insurance Fraud in the UK and disrupt insurance fraudsters.

Members include Insurers, Lawyers, Loss Adjusters, and Investigation Agencies all of whom are committed to preventing Insurance Fraud.

On 1st October 2008 IFIG became one of the first organisations in the UK to be acknowledged by the Government as a 'Specified Anti-Fraud Organisation' under the Serious Crime Act 2007.

Only six anti-fraud organisations have been awarded this status which allows public bodies to share intelligence with IFIG to prevent or detect fraud in general and insurance fraud in particular. On confirmation of this key development IFIG Chairman Peter Upton said :

"We are delighted to be awarded this status by the Home Office and look forward to building on our relationships with the public sector. We know fraudsters involve themselves in many aspects of criminality and we are very keen to disrupt them by working closely with other organisations.

IFIG now has over 250 company members covering the vast majority of the insurance industry and insurance fraud investigators. We already have close links with many law enforcement agencies and the additional relationships with other public bodies is a great opportunity to work together."


This website is designed to encourage anyone to report insurance fraud that has occurred or may occur within the UK. You can also find out more information about Insurance Fraud and IFIG as a counter fraud organisation.
