Insurance company pulling out insurance premiums for 12 years on a dead man

EXPOSEBULLIES has found a new story of a big corporation taking advantage of the elderly.

CONSECO INSURANCE has apparently, from the records we have seen, been taking insurance premiums at almost 90 dollars a month, for 12 years minus one month, from an 80 plus year old widow.

Our source says that in April, 2008, CEO of CONSECO, Mr. C. James Prieur received written notice and complaint about the almost 12 years of withdrawing premiums on a dead man, which continued even after the widow had sent them written notice of the death of her husband, including a copy of the death certificate, and she asked them to stop billing her on her dead husband.

She had other insurance policies that were being automatically drafted, and the Conseco policy, on the bank withdrawal notice, did not report who the policy was on, UNTIL recently, when her bank changed computer systems, such that the new system was able to display more information on the withdrawal, and suddenly, she sees her second husband, dead since May 13, 1996, was still having almost over 80 dollars a month, every month, as late as April 7,2008.

The lady has not received a response from the insurance company, and apparently, a second demand letter went out yesterday as I understand.

She deserves to get every penny back, and folks should write Conseco and demand they do the right thing,

They've robbed ANOTHER IBC Bank....Oklamhoma again

It's getting laughable...IBC banks seemed to be getting robbed almost every day.
This time, SUNDAY , yes, yesterday, the day I was posting about other bank robberies at
IBC banks. Well, http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=20080421_1_A7_hTwoT46701
"4/21/2008

Two Tulsa banks have been robbed in the past two days.



A man with a gun robbed a bank Sunday afternoon in the 5300 block of East Skelly Drive, authorities said.

The bank heist was the second in as many days in Tulsa.

The robber walked into the IBC Bank at 5302 E. Skelly Drive at 1:20 p.m., demanding money from two tellers, Police Sgt. Dave Walker said. The man was armed with a large-caliber, semi-automatic pistol.

The robber told the tellers, "Give me all your money; don't do anything funny. This isn't a joke," Walker said.

He fled the bank in a white, four-door Chevy Silverado pickup with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. "
===================End of Quote-----Commentary on the above follows------
Notice something interesting? I noted about previous IBC bank robberies, they keep saying
that the robber made off with "an undisclosed amount of money". Hmmmm...they don't know, or they aren't saying how much he stole?

If THEY DON'T KNOW... that is scary. Between alleged embezzlement, employees stealing from customers, and robbers getting away successfully from robbing IBC banks, why would anyone put their money in these places?

Robbery shoot out: Thieves swim across the river to Nuevo Laredo with cash

A bank robbery at the IBC at Wal-Mart South Saturday night ended with the suspects shooting a police car, then racing to El Portal where they escaped into the brush along the Rio Grand and swam to the Mexican shore carrying bags of cash.Tow trucks pulled out a dark-colored Toyota Tundra out of the river late Saturday while a Border Patrol helicopter, Webb County Sheriff’s deputies, Texas Rangers, and other law enforcement officials oversaw the scene. When the car was pulled out it was surrounded by law enforcement officers in full protective gear.

Police say at least two men with high powered-weapons robbed the IBC bank inside Wal-Mart, in the 4400 block of U.S. 83, taking several thousand dollars, and shot at a Laredo Police crusiser during a high-speed chase, without injuring the officer.

Several police and Webb County patrol units were believed to have been damaged in the high-speed chase. The robbers then sped toward Bridge No. 2, where they then abandoned the stolen truck near the intersection of Pedregal and Sta. Cleotilde Ave. and fled into Los Dos Laredos Park, just north of El Portal.

Although a police helicopter had come to the scene the robbers are believed to have swum to the Mexican side of the Rio Grand, carrying bags of money, and escaped into Nuevo Laredo.
The situation was confused, police said, by a second robbery of the truck in the 4500 block of Hachar Lane.

The victim told police that two men ran up to him, pointed a handgun, and stole his black 2006 Toyota Tundra pickup.

During the high-speed chase along Highway 83 and Loop 20 officers attempted to stop the truck and were fired on by the suspects, police said. Police report that at least one car was hit by gunfire.

Local and federal agencies were called into the chase and during the pursit the truck went into downtown Laredo and ran into the river at high speed. It was later hauled out by police.

After the two men swam to Nueva Laredo authorities in Mexico were notified and are said, by Laredo police, to be assisting in the investigation.

Police: IBC robbery would cover embezzlement

IBC Bank is based in the city of Laredo Texas, since, the CEO, Dennis E. Nixon and corporate headquarters is there.

Well, it made me look into what kinds of stuff involving the IBC bank in that part of Texas is going on, and low and behold, look what I found.

Police: IBC robbery would cover embezzlement

Police: IBC robbery would cover embezzlement
By ZACHARY FRANZ, LAREDO MORNING TIMES
10/06/2007

A botched bank robbery earlier this week may have been an effort to cover up one robber's embezzling scheme, said Jose E. Baeza, a spokesman for the Laredo Police Department.Carlos Moreno, a 24-year-old International Bank of Commerce teller supervisor, was charged Thursday with felony theft after a bank audit revealed that money for which he was responsible was missing. Moreno was already in jail on charges that he and two other men broke into the IBC branch where Moreno worked and stole more than $200,000.

Another teller, Jose Cabrera, was also charged with felony theft on Thursday, Baeza said. Cabrera was not involved in the robbery, but the subsequent audit also revealed shortages in money Cabrera managed, Baeza said. Cabrera was arrested Thursday afternoon after turning himself in to Laredo police.

Police believe the two men embezzled more than $50,000 each from the bank, Baeza said.
Both men were taking cash from the bank over an extended period of time, then would alter figures to make it appear that accounts were balanced, Baeza said.

But Moreno was scheduled to go on leave, at which point bank officials routinely do a hard count of currency managed by the employee before that money is transferred to another employee's supervision. Police believe that Moreno knew the count would reveal shortages, and planned the burglary in part to hide the fact he had been taking money.

"He knew he was going to get discovered, so it was do or die," Baeza said. "It was a win-win situation for him. He was going to get more money, and cover up his other crime."

Police believe Moreno and two other men entered the IBC branch on the 2400 block of San Isidro Parkway Sunday night using security access codes provided by Moreno. The men then used black spray paint to cover security cameras, and filled bags with money from the vault, police said.

Moreno, who resides in the 3200 block of Frost Street, was arrested for the burglary on Tuesday at 3 a.m. Also arrested were Arnulfo Lares Jr., 25, who resides in the 1500 block of Madison Street, and Jesus Dominguez, 25, who resides in the 4100 block of Eagle Pass Avenue.
Following the burglary, bank officials conducted a thorough audit of bank property, which led to the discovery of the cash shortages, Baeza said.
"(The alleged embezzlement) was a stupid crime because eventually you're going to be caught," Baeza said.

"If you take $50, maybe you can replace that later when you get paid, but you're not going to replace $50,000."

Cabrera was taken to Webb County Jail and held on $30,000 bond. An additional $50,000 bond was placed on Moreno. He also has a bond totaling $200,000 for the burglary-related charges.
The theft charges are third-degree felonies, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. "

Bank robbery suspect sighted -- in the same IBC bank-from 2007



I guess some robbers want to rob the same IBC bank twice, maybe it was so easy the first time.


Why do I say that? Check out this article from an Oklahoma paper about an IBC situation...


Last Update: 7/23/2007 2:29 pm
Police think the man who robbed an IBC Bank branch on Friday may have returned to another bank he had robbed earlier in the year for another holdup. However, a teller asked him to remove his hat and sunglasses as he stood in line, and he ran away.The first robbery took place July 9 at the IBC Bank located at 3332 E. 51st Street.Detective Sgt. Dave Walker of the Tulsa Police Department says that robbery bears striking similarities to the robbery of another IBC branch which occurred just after 2:30 p.m. Friday at the IBC Bank located at 5302 E. Skelly Drive.
Then about 11:45 a.m. Saturday, police say, a man who may be the same suspect walked in to the East 51st Street branch and stood in line.When a teller asked him to remove his hat and sunglasses, he fled the bank on foot.Police describe him as a white male, 30-40 years old, about 5 feet 9 to 11 inches tall, and weighing between 150 and 170 pounds.He has light brown hair and a moustache, and wore a red ball cap with a logo on the front.
