Kylie CDs top chart for insurance fraud

Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Westlife and Bryan Adams are the artists most likely to be listed in fraudulent insurance claims for CD theft.

Absolute Customer Management, which uses psychology to detect false insurance claims, has identified the artists as those most often lied about.

Many people making fraudulent claims would list these names, presumably because they were the first to pop into their heads.

Bill Trueman of Absolute said: "We can only assume that most fraudsters aren't very original."

The group handles about 400 insurance claims a month and found that 30 per cent of cases they dealt with were either potentially fraudulent or deceptive.
