A North Carolina man has been arrested in a $2.7 million workers’ compensation insurance scam, according to a news release from Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater. Carl Delmas Fuller, of Wake Forest, N.C., was charged Friday with mail and wire fraud for scamming a Highlands County employment services company with a fake workers’ compensation insurance policy.
