Insurance Commissioner John W. Oxendine announced on Friday that a Gwinnett County insurance agent has been arrested on insurance fraud charges.
The suspect, Lonnie Robinson, 59, of Flowery Branch, allegedly forged the signatures of two elderly women, a 74, and a 90-year-old on applications for Medicare Advantage policies.
“I have no tolerance for criminals who attempt to defraud elderly victims like this,” Oxendine said, and cautioned Georgians to be wary of rip-off artists when contacted about switching to a Medicare drug plan.Robinson has been charged with two counts of insurance fraud, according to a statement from Oxendine's office.
All of the approved plans are available at www.medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
