The New York Alliance Against Insurance Fraud (NYAAIF) was founded in 1999 to assist insurers in complying with New York State Regulation 95, which requires insurance companies to sponsor public awareness programs on insurance fraud. NYAAIF is enhancing outreach to consumers by pooling insurer resources rather than each company doing its own stand-alone program and potentially diluting the anti-fraud message.
A consistent and hard-hitting message to consumers has proven to be an effective and efficient method for increasing awareness about fraud, reducing the public's tolerance for this crime and encouraging citizens to report fraud. Beginning in early 2000, NYAAIF sponsored a series of paid radio advertisements around the state, including the top four media markets (New York, Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany).
The campaign also included public service announcements, brochures, envelope stuffers, development of this website and a media tour to explain the severity of insurance fraud to newspapers, radio stations and television news programs.

According to Wikipedia, insurance fraud is any act committed with the intent to obtain a fraudulent outcome from an insurance process.
This may occur when a claimant attempts to obtain some benefit or advantage to which they are not otherwise entitled, or when an insurer knowingly denies some benefit that is due.
The fact is that insurance fraud occurs everywhere in the state and takes many different forms: workers compensation fraud; owner give-ups in the auto theft arena, arson and fraudulent theft claims in the homeowners arena all cost many millions of dollars in fraudulent claims.
