Brilio.net - Work insurance offered by each company has various benefits with different conditions. The aim of this facility is to ensure the health and safety of a worker from potential dangers in the workplace.
The amount could reach tens to trillions . Not infrequently, for areas of work with greater risks, the insurance value can reach billions. Because of the large insurance value obtained, it is not uncommon for people to try to trick it so that the funds can be disbursed.
In order to get insurance money, these people use tactics to get benefits from the policy. One of them was carried out by two men from Taiwan named Chang and his colleague, Liao. Both of them committed fraud against insurance companies in January 2023.

On Thursday, January 26, Chang and Liao rode their motorbike to Taipei. This was done so that one of them would appear to be experiencing inflammation due to the cold weather at night.
In reality, the inflammation was caused by a bucket of dry ice that Chang had soaked. Two days later, Chang had to be hospitalized.
As a result, doctors were unable to save his leg and Chang had to undergo a double amputation below the knee. Both plans worked.
Chang finally filed an insurance claim and received 230 thousand Taiwan dollars or around Rp. 113 million from one of the companies.

Meanwhile, other insurance companies decided to investigate what happened to Chang because they felt it was odd and unusual. The reason is, this action was carried out because Chang was trying to get an unusual number of insurance policies in one short time.
Chang's inflammatory injuries were also considered suspicious by the insurance company. So, several insurance companies decided to report the case to the authorities.
As a result, their actions were exposed by the Taiwan Criminal Investigation Bureau, when prosecutors obtained evidence showing Chang had taken out policies from five insurance companies covering disability, injury, health and travel safety.

This case also provides proof that in order to earn money, many people do anything, even to very extreme levels.
