Department of Insurance investigators allege Terri Strozier, 44, and Thomas Silver, 44 conceived and executed a plot to defraud their insurance company of almost $2,000. Silver allegedly showed Strozier how to damage her own vehicle with a pair of scissors so the couple could receive an insurance settlement. Afterward, Strozier filed a phony claim with Atlantic Casualty Insurance Company stating that her vehicle had been vandalized; the company paid her nearly $1,900 in September 2006.
