UNDATED -- A company has been caught selling fake health insurance in Ohio.
United States Contractors Trust is targeting people with pre-existing medical conditions who are having a hard time finding health insurance.
Officials say once the customers have signed up, the money starts coming out of their bank accounts. After a couple months, though, notices of unpaid bills start arriving. While fighting those bills, money continues to be withdrawn from their accounts.
Four people in Ohio have been victimized so far.
Insurance officials urge policy seekers to verify an insurance company is licensed in Ohio.
Also, be suspicious of any company pressuring you into a direct payment method.
