Insurance “scammers” are facing instant karma after chilling dashcam video shows them backing into a car on the Belt Parkway in New York

Dashcam footage allegedly shows the moment three would-be fraudsters backed into a car – seemingly to pretend they had been hit from behind.

The video shows the vehicle driven by the suspected fraudsters traveling along New York’s Belt Parkway in Queens before driving in front of dashcam driver Ashipa Natasha’s car, narrowly missing it.

After Natasha applied the brakes, the silver car also stopped in front of her vehicle and then quickly backed into Natasha’s car.

“Oh my God, what is he doing?” she asked in the clip.

Natasha was on speakerphone with her husband and told him, “I just had an accident; I don’t know what’s happening. This guy just turned into me, what the fuck is going on?’

She wrote in her post: “The silver Honda was in the middle lane and they cut me off, slammed on the brakes and came to a stop hoping I would hit them. “I’m not their car hit me and that’s why they backed into my car and caused a collision.”

Natasha claimed the two backseat passengers used a “tarp” to cover the rear windshield so the male driver could swap seats with the female passenger.

Four passengers then exited the car, holding their heads and pretending to be injured while they examined the damage to their car’s bumper.

Natasha said: “I think the intention was to say I hit her car for insurance fraud.”

A female passenger exiting the car on the driver’s side began recording both vehicles. The other passenger also began documenting the accident and taking a photo of Natasha’s license plate.

A red Kia pulled up in front of the silver car, picked up the suspected male driver and then drove away.

Natasha said she remembered the remaining passenger’s behavior changing when they discovered her dashcam.

“They only came out of the car with their cell phones to record the damage to both cars. “They quickly asked about my insurance and quickly left after the exchange,” she wrote.

The male passenger spoke to Natasha and explained that his wife was driving and did not speak English.

Natasha added in a follow-up video: “They quickly exchanged my driver’s license, insurance, registration and everything else so I didn’t think anything of it.”

Natasha had asked the remaining passengers to wait for her husband to show up, but they said they had to “leave immediately to collect their baby”.

When a tow truck showed up to check on Natasha’s car, the other passengers took the opportunity to get back in their vehicle and drive off.

“I’m not sure if they targeted me because of my car or if they saw that I was driving alone,” she said.

“You haven’t really followed me for a long time.” It seemed like everything happened very quickly. It definitely seemed like this had been planned for some time. “Definitely not her first time,” she added.

It wasn’t until Natasha watched the video again that she noticed the “setup” or driver change, as she was driving alone and “everything happened so quickly.”

Natasha posted three videos about the incident, showing the dashcam she was using in her car, as well as rear camera footage showing the red Kia following her.

The comments on her post were in full support, with one writing: “Definitely press charges.” They will do it again. Thank goodness you have a dashcam.

“Like everyone said, FEES PRESS‼️‼️This is such an old trick and they literally got caught on your dashcam,” wrote another.

Keen observers also made it clear how the incident appeared to have been staged. A user of THIS IS WILD.’

Many viewers urged others to also invest in a dashcam, with another adding: “Insurance adjuster here: This happens soooooo often to people who drive higher priced vehicles.” If you have a luxury vehicle (any brand), you ABSOLUTELY need a dashcam! !’

According to the New York State Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Board, insurance carriers reported 24,238 cases of suspected automobile insurance fraud in 2020.
