Maria Caceres, Wire Fraud, Indiana 2023

A former employee of Seven Corners, a travel insurance business in Carmel, Indiana, has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for her role in a wire fraud scheme.

Maria Caceres, 56, of Coral Springs, Florida, and formerly of Hamilton County, Indiana, was convicted of wire fraud and sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard L. Young.

Between May 2011 and September 2016, Caceres prepared and submitted thirty fraudulent insurance claims to Seven Corners totaling more than $650,000. As part of the scheme, Caceres and her accomplices created fictitious names under which they purchased insurance policies from the victim company.

Caceres and her accomplices created false email addresses in the name of a hospital in Venezuela and submitted claims to the victim company for purported emergency medical services provided to the fictitious individuals during international travel. In fact, none of these expenses were ever incurred and Caceres had created artificial customer accounts and false documents in support of the claims.

As a result of the fraud, the victim company paid over $588,000 to accounts controlled by Caceres’ accomplices. Caceres was also ordered to pay over $496,000 in restitution and will be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for one year following her release from prison.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorneys James M. Warden and Bradly P. Shepard prosecuting the case.
