A commuter on the Belt Parkway wants justice after Brake Check Insurance Scammers got into an accident with her, and it was all caught on dashcam.
New York resident and TikTok user Ashpia Natasha is seeking legal recourse and justice from police and lawyers after she was involved in a brake check insurance scam on the Belt Parkway earlier this week (Oct 16, 2024).
Although the entire incident was caught on dashcam and she knows exactly who the insurance scammers are, Natasha says police and lawyers are doing little to make these scammers accountable for their actions.
Check out the videos going viral all over social media below.
@ashpianatasha4 Insurance fraud attempt in Queens, NY 10-16-2024 PART 1 I was driving in the left lane of the Belt Parkway going East bound towards the Southern State Parkway. The silver Honda (LBB 8917) was in the middle lane, and they cut me off and slammed on the brakes coming to a full stop hoping I would hit them. I did not hit their car and because of that they reversed into my car for collision and acted as if they were injured while coming out of their vehicle. I believe the intention was to say I hit their car for insurance fraud purposes. They had a tarp covering the rear windshield which fell off once they hit my car. You can see the driver is a male wearing a hat and you can see him switching to the passenger seat as well as the movement of the car before anyone gets out. The first three passengers exit the car pretending to be hurt, while the fourth passenger who was driving slips out through the passenger seat and gets into a second vehicle. That second vehicle was a red KIA SUV (KJH 3340) which was following me from behind and keeping distance so they wouldn't slam into me. The red KIA drove around and picked up the driver to get away. The remaining three people’s demeanor changed once one of them noticed the dashcam. They only came out of the car with their phones ready to record the damage to both cars. They were quick to ask for my insurance and quickly left after the exchange. I called the police at the time of the incident and reported it as an accident, and the police told me they no longer go to an accident if no one is injured and they are willing to exchange information. I did not realize at the time that the driver switched and left in another car or that it was a set-up as I was driving by myself, and everything happened so fast. #queensny #car #caraccident #exposed #newyork #brooklynny @nbcnews @abcnews @nypd @geico @allstate @pix11ny ♬ original sound – Ashpia Natasha

The passenger with a backward hat can be seen looking at and spotting Natasha’s dashcam before turning around and presumably telling the other scammers that they’ve been had.
You can see him recoil from the camera.

In an update posted on TikTok yesterday, Natasha clarified that she went back to the police to file another report for assault and hit-and-run after she realized the female who gave her information was not the driver.
Natasha also says she’s tried to retain a lawyer to represent her but was told the same thing police told her, that she’d have to wait for her insurance claim to get filed first.
As of this post, Natasha doesn’t have any further updates except that she’s indeed filed a claim with her insurance and, pending further updates, will pursue pressing charges.

Natasha shared with her followers that the dashcam she has is a Viofo A129 Plus Duo.
In the meantime, Natasha and her husband are trying their best to get some light shined on this situation, imploring local news or anyone who has a platform to pressure New York area police to allocate resources to prosecute these scammers properly.
