A Kentucky man had his Pennsylvania insurance license revoked in April after admitting to signing false signatures on five application forms in a scheme designed to obtain commissions.
The man, Trevor Bruney of Wilder, Kent., caused false signatures of customers to be placed on five applications for AFLAC Hospital Confinement Indemnity policies in September 2010, according to Pennsylvania Insurance Department records. He also used his AFLAC employee electronic acknowledgment signature five times on the same applications, incorrectly verifying that he personally witnessed the proposed clients sign the applications Sept. 2, 2010, even though he signed the documents for the clients, records show.
Bruney, who left the insurance business, admitted to regulators that he caused the placement of non-legitimate signature of a fellow AFLAC employee on a new business transmittal form, which allowed the commission of the five policies to be paid to that employee, officials say. He later attempted to obtain commissions from that employee, records show.
