I became the victim of a fraudulent $1200 hail damage claim when I rented a car from the Enterprise location at College Park, Maryland, January. The vehicle had 35,000 miles on it, and I added another 160 miles during my 8 day rental. On return, I was shown seven very small dimples on the roof. They were very difficult to see, much less document with a camera, and the kind of thing you could easily miss or ignore as inconsequential. The agent then filed a damage claim, documented only as significant hail damage to roof and trunk. I asked him to write a more accurate, detailed description of the damage, but he said he didnt have to. The fraud started here, with a damage claim that was lacking in any details, thus preparing the groundwork for a falsified repair bill.
Ive lived in Maryland for 55 years. Although Im sure there are occasional hailstorms in Maryland, Ive never known a Maryland resident that has sustained hail damage to their vehicle.
