HEY SPENCE, look down there.. the beltran dude attached to you ... and that fat pig looking girl whose brother got busted with your nephew. I have the video of them switching tags on cars to stalk me on nebraska. Losers. You're too fucking stupid to make an honest way in life. And ugly.
Hillsborough deputies arrest suspects in staged car crashes

TAMPA — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested eight people Friday in an ongoing crackdown on staged car crashes.
Tampa has the second most questionable accident claims in the country and the most in the state. Such claims add about $250 to $300 to the annual cost of car insurance policies, said Robert Deluna, senior special agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
"All of our insurance is going up, and we want them to know we're not going to tolerate it and we don't take it lightly," said sheriff's Maj. Donna Lusczynski. "Once we identify them, we are going to take action and do the best we can to put them in jail."
The investigation, dubbed "Operation Crash for Cash," comes on the heels of previous efforts that resulted in at least 54 arrests.
The suspects arrested Friday were all employees of or tied to Medical Rehab Choice, 3104 W Waters Ave.
Those arrested include Hiram Beltran, 39, Luz Quinones, 41, Matthew Aviles, 19, Herbert Prieto, 29, Yasmin Heredia-Acevedo, 31, Ubaldo Gascon, 36, Rosario Gascon, 35, and Chester Sanchez, 30.
All are from Tampa and face charges of scheming to defraud.
The Sheriff's Office said its investigation uncovered a new trend in staged crashes involving U-Haul trucks because the rental company will sell $1 million dollar insurance policies for $100, deputies said.
The number of suspected staged accident claims in Tampa jumped from 232 to 487 between 2008 and 2009, a 290 percent increase. About one-fourth of all staged accident claims in Florida happened in Tampa last year. St. Petersburg had 18 suspected staged accidents in 2009. Clearwater had seven.
For years, most of Florida's staged accidents were in the Miami area, but after a focused crackdown there the numbers began rising in Tampa.
Overall, Florida saw questionable claims for staged accidents increase by about 58 percent from 2008 to 2009. That's a jump from 1,268 claims to nearly 2,000.
Miami had the second highest number of suspected staged accidents in Florida in 2009 with 258.[Last modified: Oct 08, 2010 08:19 PM] Click here for reuse options! Copyright 2010 St. Petersburg TimesClick here to post a comment

Ok Kimmy and the others that agree with her..you are just plain and simple idiots...you see a latin name and assume,,illegal or mexican, as usual..ok here's the scoop...try puerto rican,,,not illegal and not mexican, in case you do not know the difference. For starters illegals cannot get a driver's license,,so they would not be the ones involved and trying to sue or renting U-Hauls. This has been going on for years up north, Newark mainly, Puerto Rican and Domicans. Get a clue and next time think before you ●●●-U-ME..just makes you look stupid.

Sheriff, We don't give a F about your idiot insurance companies which are mostly in cahoots with you guys which is WHY you're sooo worried. Does everyone know every time a cop writes a ticket in FL a donation is made to their retirement fund?? YES IT IS. But, we'd like to see more TIME TIME TIME and actual effort (LOL) put into those MURDERS BY CAR TRUCK AND TEACHER AND OTHERS committed on our roadways EVERY DAY. WHO WAS DRIVING THE CAR THAT RAN OVER THE DOCTOR FROM USF???????????

as an X Claims adjuster there is more Insurance Fraud going on all around us and that Costs us honest people more than you can imagine if the fraud is up in NY or NM it still costs us ALL more. see the Ins companies must have a 30% or greater profit so they say to break even. and if they don't make their % Ratio they will up the rates for everyone. I'm glad I'm not in that crappy field any longer. If anyone sees this stuff happening you need to speak up because is costs us all more for our premiums.

Kimmy, largoverde and everyone else who is assigning a nationality to those criminals are totally wrong. There are not mexicans, nor dominicans nor puerto ricans. Most of the lazy sob's who control the auto and medicare fraud are coming from Miami, Hialeah...South Florida. There are LEGALS who can not even get deported to where they came from. Some of those people were taught in their home country to hate USA but, guess what ?. They get red carpet treament once they arrive in USA. Wake up !! this is a matter of national security. It is not only auto insurance fraud. It is also medicare, medicaid fraud, prostitution, fast botes robbery, human smuggling etc etc etc C'mon everybody knows who they are. Some of them even brag about it. Of course, it is just a minority representation of their population. But still, it is a matter of national security... There are some outdated federal laws/policies that should be addressed ASAP. Wake Up !!

You are not only ignorant but you are a racist. And yes, these slimeballs come down from Newark and Newark areas as the law had caught up to their schemes years ago. And to further correct you,,,if you notice my name..I am a female..and to insult me in my own language..it would be estupida...MORON! So next time you wish to appear intelligent, check your dictionary!
