State investigators bust fake insurance agent

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The state Division of Insurance fraud busted a woman in Orange County who was posing as a licensed insurance agent.

Investigators say the woman offered a "friends and family discount."  It seemed like a good deal. Agents say she took customers' cash and signed them up for insurance.

That’s when the nightmare began for some Central Florida drivers.

Channel 9’s Jeff Deal will explain the scheme and how to protect yourself, tonight on Eyewitness News at 11 p.m.
