Escambia Man Indicted For Insurance Fraud Scheme
November 21, 2014
An Escambia County man has been indicted on federal charges for an insurance fraud scheme. Kevin D. Webster, 44, was indicted for 11 felony counts of wire fraud.
The indictment alleges that Webster, an insurance agent licensed in Florida and other states, defrauded high profile clients and their financial advisors by falsely representing to them via
email that he had secured umbrella insurance policies for them when, in fact, he had not. According to the indictment, between 2008 and 2011, Webster accepted approximately $140,000 meant for umbrella insurance policy premiums for policies that Webster never secured or even attempted to secure.
Webster pled not guilty, and his trial is scheduled for Monday, January 12, 2015, before Senior United States District Judge Roger Vinson. The charges result from an investigation by the Florida Department of Financial Services and the FBI.

IT TAKES ALL KIND TO MAKE THE WORLD and some are wolves dressed in sheep clothing. He did this without a weapon or a threat to anyone but no matter the method it is still a crime to take money from another and supposedly provide a service and not deliver. As I recall there is another insurance agent from the area in prison for near the same fraud. I hope he saved the ill gotten booty so he can hire a good attorney as a mouth piece. I’m sure there are many more business people doing unscrupulous things thinking they are not going to get caught but it is just a matter of time or doing the right one wrong and you go down so those need to see this and rethink about their underhanded ways. JUST US FOR ALL.
