ICBC Top Fraud of 2008:Number 5

A young Kelowna man finally admitted to totaling his grandmother’s car, after first claiming he was the victim of a hit and run.

After officials discovered the truth, he opted for the restorative justice program, writing a letter of apology to community members involved, speaking to media about his experience and lessons learned and performing two days of community service. He also had to repay ICBC over $18,000 for damage to his grandmother’s vehicle.
