「火災保険を使って実質的に無料で修理ができる」などとうたい、火災保険金を利用した修理工事契約を締結させる事業者に関する注意喚起 | 消費者庁

This page contains a consumer alert issued by the Consumer Affairs Agency on June 27, 2024. It warns consumers about unscrupulous businesses that solicit fire insurance claims for home repairs, claiming repairs can be made "essentially free" using insurance proceeds. Since April 2023, numerous complaints have been filed regarding telephone solicitations and free inspections, during which normal deterioration is falsely presented as natural disaster damage to justify insurance claims. The agency has confirmed that a company named "Tenken" engaged in fraudulent misrepresentation. The page emphasizes that making false insurance claims can result in fraud charges and policy cancellation.
