Georgia Woman Wanted on Charges She Filed $45,000 in Faked Pet Insurance Claims

Law enforcement officials on Monday were looking for a Georgia woman who allegedly gained almost $45,000 from fraudulent pet insurance claims, from 2019 through 2022.

Amanda Lindley, 39, of Paulding County, northwest of Atlanta, is wanted for submitting 48 claims to pet insurers, contending that her dog was treated at multiple veterinarian clinics in Atlanta, according to Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King’s office.

“Upon investigation, our special agents confirmed that Ms. Lindley altered the date and cost of the procedures on each invoice,” King said in a statement.

The woman reportedly changed several invoices to show that the cost of the treatments were higher than the actual charges, and that the dog had vet visits that never happened, King said.

Lindley also allegedly posted some of the faked invoices on a website to gain monetary donations from sympathetic people, he said.

A warrant was issued Jan. 10 for Lindley’s arrest. But as of Monday, she had not been apprehended.
