BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Move over, grandmom’s old china cabinet, daddy’s coin collection and designer clothes. There’s a new kid in town on the Facebook Marketplace that won’t pass muster: fake car insurance.

Louisiana State Police arrested a 25-year-old Pineville, Louisiana, woman on suspicion of selling fake car insurance policies through Facebook Marketplace, the Rapides Parish, Louisiana, news station KLFY reported Wednesday.

Facing multiple charges including insurance fraud, forgery of certificate of insurance, theft, and advertisements by insurers, Brianna Phillips is accused of selling the fake policies through Safeway Insurance Co. of Louisiana, according to the news report.

Police say they are now looking for more victims of the alleged phony insurance scam.
