Swoop and Squat

Apparently a new form of fraud is becoming popular, or at least more widely known. It's called Swoop and Squat, and basically involves someone cutting you off so as to force a rear-end collision. Since the rear-ender is usually the one held at fault, this means the other party stands to benefit. Plus, it seems a network of auxiliary services are staged to try and pry more money out of you. A few others are listed at Allstate's Fraud page.
