Good way to just start a new life if you were there on vacation or business. Call your wife and say file the $1Million claim and I'll meet you in the Bahamas.

My father had a friend that did that in the Philippines in the 70s/80s... he was eventually caught, even saw him on a 60 minutes spot about insurance fraud.
I can say that it's not that easy based on another friend who's husband fell overboard on a boat in a lake. It took 7 years for her to get paid out. 7 years of extreme financial difficulty and roadblock after roadblock of the insurance company not paying out.
If you look at the charlatans of 9/11 they were eventually caught.
I agree however that someone will take advantage of this, maybe not for insurance fraud but just to start a clean slate or even assume someone else's identity ala The Beach ironically shot in Phi Phi, Thailand.
