Insurance Claims to be Tested by Lie Detector

Posted by michael on from the whiplash dept.

Albanach writes "HBOS, one of the largest UK banks is to introduce random lie detector analysis of insurance claims according to this article from the Edinburgh Evening News. The three month trial will see calls from its 1.5 million policy holders randomly subjected to voice stress analysis. Those flagged up will then receive a set of questions designed to expose 'potential fraudsters'."

    I really hate insurance companies.

    Especially, when they will go through such efforts to screw you, that they spend more money on lawyers and tests, than they would if they just paid you!

    Bastards.
