Charlotte broker submitted 17 false life insurance applications, NC officials say

Two Charlotte brokers are facing accusations of filing false life insurance applications for profit, according to North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey.

Johnnisha Kierra Albert, 28, and Regina Renee King, 32, were arrested on July 15 at a home in southwest Charlotte and charged with multiple felonies, the N.C. Department of Insurance said in a July 17 news release.

“Special agents with the Department of Insurance’s Criminal Investigations Division accuse Albert, an insurance broker, of submitting 17 false life insurance applications to Corebridge Direct Insurance Services Inc. and Gerber Life Insurance Co. Albert obtained $43,454.21 in commissions from these false applications,” state officials said.

“King, also an insurance broker, is accused of submitting five false life insurance applications to United of Omaha Life Insurance Co. to obtain commission payments.”

Albert has been charged with two counts of felony insurance fraud and two counts of felony obtaining property by false pretense, and King is charged with one count of felony insurance fraud and one count of felony attempting to obtain property by false pretense, officials said.

“Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime,” Commissioner Causey said in the news release. “It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums.”
