Fraud of the Week: Daddy Dumbest

A Fargo, N.D. father and son have been charged with insurance fraud, theft, and illegally conducting an enterprise after an investigation found the two to have been involved in a total of 37 auto accidents in only two years.

From July 2008 to June 2010, Sead Mustafic, 43, and Senad Mustafic, 24, made Fargo roads a dangerous and expensive place to drive. The men allegedly defrauded various insurance companies out of more than $10,000 simply by changing lanes. The scheme essentially involved either Sead or Senad following a driver that was making lane changes, and speeding into the lane the driver was veering to so as to collide with the unassuming driver’s car.
