This person contacts their victims either in person or over the internet and offers to arrange auto insurance coverage at a rate much lower than what the victim is currently paying or has been quoted. During the first part of the scam, the con artist charges his or her victim a fee for this so-called service. The scam artist them collects information about the victims driving history, along with other personal details that in some cases have included financial information. During the second part of this scam, the con artist gathers information and quotes on the victims behalf from actual auto insurance companies. Instead of accurately reporting this information to these companies, however, the scam artist lies to the insurance company about the victims personal information and/or driving history.

Maretta filed a claim for the death benefit and collected the proceeds, and Jacqueline Hillman sued. Virginia law automatically revokes beneficiary designations to ex-spouses and lets the family of the deceased sue if an ex-spouse collects the proceeds as the named beneficiary. The Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Act, which governs Hillman's group life policy, states that the death benefit must be paid to the named beneficiary. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal law pre-empts Virginia's law. "It's a very significant case," says attorney Daniel Ruttenberg, a partner at SmolenPlevy in Vienna, Va., who argued the case before the Supreme Court for Jacqueline Hillman. Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance "is the largest life insurance program by far in the world, so it affects millions of individuals." The case emphasizes the need to review and update beneficiary designations after major life changes. Yet many people, like Hillman, neglect to do so. "Divorce is such a hard thing to go through," Ruttenberg says.
