Najwa Rucker is a used car customer who took her salesman’s recommendation for auto insurance.

But state investigators said the insurance company did not exist, and following an Atlanta News First investigation, the owner of Atlanta Best Used Cars in Norcross reimbursed Rucker for payments she made to a fraudulent company called All-Citi Insurance Group.

Rucker will receive a check for $1,750. That includes five monthly payments and the deductible she paid after her car was involved in a crash.

State investigators for Georgia’s Commissioner of Insurance and Fire Safety are still looking for the suspect behind the alleged scheme. Warrants have been issued for Deamarkis Barber, 33, from Conyers, on eight counts of insurance fraud and eight counts of theft by deception. He allegedly stole $17,500 from 19 victims, and there could be more.

How come she didn't hold the truck insurance company responsible? That makes no sense not to go after him.
And if you are not at fault, you should call the other person's insurance company, not yours.
If they pay, so will you for an accident that's not your fault. That claim will cost you, not the at fault driver.
Then she's saved again by not doing her due diligence.
Who text an insurance binder or declaration page?
