Ex-Allstate adjuster, Paul Richard Massey, finds himself on the wrong side of the law after a guilty plea to wire fraud and money laundering charges. Operating out of Shady Spring, West Virginia, Massey misused his position to issue 68 fraudulent checks totaling over $860,000 during his tenure in 2018 and 2019. His deceptive practices not only tarnished his professional reputation but also left a dent in Allstate’s trust and financial standing.

The elaborate fraud involved masquerading non-existent mitigation work done by American Mitigation Services, a company Massey had financial ties with contrary to his initial claims. By forging documents and creating a false narrative, Massey managed to keep the scam under wraps temporarily.

The case underscores the paramount importance of adherence to ethical practices in the claims adjusting profession.
