Who do you report fraud to?

• A. Local DA and Fraud Division of Dept of Insurance in 60 days
• B. FBI in 30 days
• C. State Attorney General in 90 days
• D. County Sheriff in 120 days

Answer: (A)

When you suspect insurance fraud, you report it to the authorities that handle insurance-fraud investigations in California: the local district attorney’s office and the Department of Insurance Fraud Division. They coordinate prosecutions and investigations, and there’s a typical 60-day window to report the finding so evidence can be promptly preserved and the case can be pursued efficiently. The FBI handles federal cases, the State Attorney General isn’t the usual first contact for a specific insurance-fraud report, and the County Sheriff isn’t the designated channel for this type of investigation. So the best course is to notify the local district attorney and the Department of Insurance Fraud Division within 60 days.
