– CFO / DFS Investigative Authority
– [ Define ] Civil, Criminal, Legal Process & Process Agent Authority.
Who is the RECEIVER of ALL Legal Process in Florida?
In April of 2024, the CFO’s Criminal Investigations Division of the Department of Financial Services receive a tip pertaining an UN-AUTHORIZED Entity. Apparently, D&R Insurance Group was conducting State Exam Pre-Licensing and prep courses. The problem was this institution of higher learning was taking DFS Licensing Exams on behalf of their clients.
Everything about this scam is wrong. If a person can’t get through Pre-Licensing, they’re NOT a reliable source of information. This trio literally making a business out of destabilizing our local insurance marketplace. Potentially thousands could have been exposed to ignorant / untrustworthy licensees if their scam hadn’t been reported so fast.
Department Investigators COLLECTED enough EVIDENCE to establish a timeframe for this scheme. Over approximately 17-Months, this threesome implemented various tactics to bypass online testing security protocol.

The DFS encourages all Floridians to fight fraud. National fraud estimate are at least $80 BILLION DOLLARS (or more) per year is lost due to insurance fraud.
