Swain County woman charged with insurance fraud

North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey announced today the arrest of Rachel Nicole Conley, 42, of 378 North Rhododendron Road, Almond, NC. Conley was charged with one count of insurance fraud, a felony.

According to special agents with the NC Department of Insurance's Criminal Investigations Division, Conley attempted to defraud American Family Life Assurance Company by issuing false statements on an insurance policy.

According to the criminal summons, the offenses occurred on July 7, 2023.

Conley was served on July 1. She is ordered to appear in Graham County District Court on July 29.

"Insurance fraud hits consumers in the wallet," Commissioner Causey said. "Approximately 20 cents of every insurance premium dollar goes to covering the cost of fraud. I'm fighting this by aggressively pursuing and prosecuting insurance fraud in North Carolina."

If you suspect insurance fraud or other white-collar crimes, please report it. You may anonymously report fraud by calling the N.C. Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840 or toll free from anywhere in North Carolina at 888-680-7684.
