A man faked his own death. A woman filed 37 claims. Now IFED is coming for travel fraudsters

According to the ABI, the total number of fraudulent travel insurance claims detected increased by 97% between 2023 and 2024, reaching around 2,020 cases, with the average fraudulent travel claim valued at approximately £3,000. Analysts have warned that these figures likely understate the true scale of the problem, with a significant proportion of travel fraud continuing to go unreported or undetected.
