Thousands fall victim to ‘ghost broker’ insurance scams in UK

What happened: Amie Donaghey is one of many people tricked by 'ghost brokers' who sell fake insurance policies via social media.

Why it matters:

  • Victims face financial loss and lack of legitimate insurance coverage.
  • The scam undermines trust in online insurance sales and affects drivers across the UK.

MNN Take: Ghost brokers exploit social media to offer fraudulent insurance, leaving buyers unprotected and potentially liable for legal issues.
