They provide fake insurance certificates to the accident management companies who proceed with the claim.

Its rare they're legitimately insured for couriering.

This happened to me this week just off Richmond Road in Kingston whilst waiting to turn right on a junction in a quiet residential street. The rider gave me a Brazilian name and I have since been contacted by DAMS (looks like same company as MCAMS) asking about my version of events. I’ve reported it the police and Insurance Fraud Bureau. Have sent a private message asking to be added to the WhatsApp group!

Yes, DAMS is the company working with them. Don't engage with them at all. They will then most probably pass it to Bond Turner - a dodgy legal firm that seems to be dealing with all their claims. There is also a "garage" supposedly assessing all the damage and producing fake reports. Our insurance company successfully quashed it all as fraudulent and the damage claimed did not correspond to the CCTV footage we luckily had thanks to our neighbour's doorbell cam. Talk to your insurance company as soon as possible. Our insurance was great and they knew Bond Turner and actually had a fraud person dedicated specifically to dealing with their claims

Have you considered that these incidents might be a form of social engineering, where the perpetrators are exploiting societal fears to manipulate insurance claims? Could this be a sophisticated scam rather than just opportunistic crime?
