New type of insurance fraud?

[Syndrome]

Those involved with the auto crash repair industry know very well how hard the insurance companies try to squeeze everything for costs savings. As a result the repair industry try to claw back some ground. A new method is for repairers to order genuine parts for a vehicles repair, get the paperwork with the part, then make up some bull**** excuse to return the part saying it is not needed. They substitute the genuine part with a lower cost version but have the paperwork of the original genuine spare part ordered to show both the customer and insurance company.
