SINGAPORE, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The General Insurance Association of Singapore (GIA) has revealed alarming statistics, estimating that fraudulent motor claims make up about 20 percent of all motor insurance claims in Singapore. These deceptive claims often involve exaggerated injuries and inflated vehicle damage. The complexity of these scams extends to organised crime syndicates staging traffic accidents and recruiting numerous individuals to take part in their fraudulent endeavours. These participants are frequently unaware of their involvement in a more extensive syndicate's activity. In response to this growing issue, the GIA has now taken a significant step to raise awareness by releasing an eye-opening video outlining the disturbing tactics used by these fraudsters and includes steps motorists can take to protect themselves. Budget Direct Insurance, a trusted name in the insurance industry, is wholeheartedly supporting this initiative to combat motoring touting. The rise in such activities has far-reaching implications, not just for insurers but also for all motorists in Singapore. Simon Birch, CEO of Budget Direct Insurance, emphasizes that insurance fraud is a persistent and far-reaching concern. While insurance companies employ advanced technologies including AI to combat these fraudulent activities, he underscores the vital role of individual vigilance in safeguarding against potential scams. Fraud impacts not only insurers but also consumers directly. The increased claims payouts, stemming from these deceitful activities, inevitably translate into higher premiums for policyholders. Moreover, the operational costs incurred by insurance companies in combating fraud are indirectly reflected in the annual premiums paid by policyholders. Simon Birch remarked, "Insurance fraud is a persistent concern with wide-ranging consequences. While insurers deploy advanced technologies to combat fraud, it is vital for individuals to be vigilant and aware of potential scams to protect themselves. At the end of the day, all motorists are victims to motoring insurance fraud as we're all having to pay higher premiums as a result." A case in point is one of the largest motor fraud cases reported in Singapore, involving an auto workshop owner orchestrating fraudulent claims amounting to S$1.6 million. This complex scheme revolved around the owner and his accomplice staging fake accidents and recruiting individuals to file fraudulent claims for accidents they were supposedly involved in. Shockingly, these fraudulent claims went undetected for four years across 13 insurance companies. "Staying informed is the first line of defence against insurance fraud. We strongly encourage everyone to watch this brief GIA video and gain valuable insights into the deceptive strategies used by touters," Birch added. Reported motoring scam scenarios in Singapore include: Beware of Phoney Helpers: After an accident, individuals may offer "help" and exert pressure on victims to comply with their demands, often directing them towards unauthorised repair workshops or towing services that overcharge. Staged Accidents: Scammers may stage accidents, causing victims to collide with their vehicles and then falsely accuse victims of causing the collision. They often fake injuries and make substantial claims for collision and injuries. Phoney Witnesses: Suspect convenient witnesses who corroborate the other driver's account, which often suggests a staged accident. To protect themselves from car insurance fraud, motorists can take the following steps: Install a Dashboard Camera: Installing a dashboard camera provides real-time video evidence of accidents, which can be invaluable in proving your case to insurers, the police, or legal authorities. Report the Accident Quickly: Promptly reporting accidents to the police and your insurer allows you to control the flow of information, ensuring that accident details are recorded fairly and in a timely manner. Use Your Insurer's Authorised Workshop: After an accident, avoid using towing services or workshops recommended by strangers, especially immediately after the incident. Report Fraud: Report any actual or suspected insurance fraud cases to your insurance company or to the General Insurance Association of Singapore (GIA) online. Watch the GIA video here.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore's bespoke furniture brand, Marano Furniture has launched its new Constellation Collection, featuring 13 handcrafted pieces designed in Marano's signature avant-garde style to embody the unique characteristics of the 12 astrological signs. (Above: Marano Furniture’s Constellation Collection) As the first of its kind in Singapore, the Constellation Collection is a careful play of vibrant primaries and neutral tones, combined with bold lines and contours to showcase the breadth and depth of each astrological sign's attributes in the form of statement pieces for modern homes. Since 2019, Marano Furniture has been collaborating with emerging underrepresented designers across Asia to conceive ground-breaking thematic designs. Tasked to curate statement pieces inspired by their own astrological signs, the Constellation Collection presents an assemblage of artistic ingenuity that infuses symbolism, function and personality into works of art to elevate living spaces. "A shift from our usual thematic designs, this collection takes on a more introspective approach, using a mix of striking colours and irregular shapes to create art pieces that capture the celestial imagination," said Christopher Lim, Founder and Managing Director of Marano Furniture. A Play Between Fire and Brilliance: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius For passionate fire signs, the lavish ARIETIS Armchair adds a pop of colour to the living space, boasting a velvety silk exterior for that added touch of warmth and comfort. Likewise, the SAGITTARII Coffee Table features an irregular arrow-shaped design made from the gorgeous walnut veneer that illustrates the Sagittarius's unwavering optimism and sense of adventure, with the LEONIS 2-Seater Sofa complementing a Leo's confident and charismatic disposition with its magnificent mane-like velvet exterior. A Breeze of Elegance in the Air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius As the intelligent and versatile air sign, one can find a rather harmonious set-up with the LIBRAE Bed and Bedside Table combination; the cooler tones of pine green and cream white combined with luxurious top-grade cowhide evokes an air of comfort and elegance in one's sanctuary for rest. Curious and quirky as the Aquarius and Gemini, the AQUARII Sideboard and GEMINORIUM Dining Chair feature unorthodox shapes with pops of colour to imbue a distinctive touch of innovation into contemporary homes. Embracing the Depths of the Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces Encapsulating the mysterious and intense Scorpio sign is the iconic SCORPII Coffee Table. The solid black lacquered beech cradles the corrugated art glass countertop to add a misty effect reminiscent of an oil painting. The smoked oak veneer of the CANCRI Sideboard exudes a tranquil and homely quality, with its opulent golden accents capturing the Cancer's striking sensitivities. The imaginative personality of the Pisces is also captured through the twin-fish structure and marble top of the PISCIUM Side Table, adding a hint of ethereal delight to any living space. Bringing it Down To Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Alike the grounded earth signs, the VIRGINIS Dining Table is a sight to behold with its light veneer parquet and unique base mimicking a graceful skirt swaying in the breeze. The expansive TAURI Armchair and CAPRICORNI 2-Seater Sofa made from nappa leather and silk fleece respectively also reflects the Taurus' practicality and Capricorn's stoic dependability, with neutral primary hues to add a touch of lasting comfort and beauty. The Constellation Collection will be available for purchase online at maranofurniture.com. For assets and images, kindly refer to the link here.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The crisp air and vibrant colors of fall beckon people to the great outdoors. But before heading out on the weekend camping trips or cozy cabin getaways, people need a reliable power source to keep their gadgets charged and comforts in check. And BLUETTI, a trusted name in portable generators, is introducing its latest innovations just in time to get all ready for their fall excursions. Bluetti release new products AC2A anda AC70 On November 2nd at 7 PM PDT, the company's new AC2A and AC70 portable power systems will hit the US market. Until then, consumers can get them at an unbeatable early-bird price on its website and Amazon. Introducing the AC2A Portable Generator: Power in the Palm of the Hand The AC2A weighs only 3.6 kg (7.9 lbs) and slips easily into backpack. It's about the size of a toaster and has a built-in handle for one-handed carrying, so users can take it anywhere. But don't let its size fool you, the AC2A delivers a 300W AC output with a 600W surge. It powers everything from phones and tablets to LED string lights, projectors, and CPAP machines. Its six ports, including a high-speed 100W USB-C port and a wireless charging pad, cover all power needs on the go. Charging the AC2A is a snap. Users can plug it into a wall outlet for 270W input, taking just 1.4 hours for a full recharge. Or they can opt for the 200W solar charging option and recharge it in 1.5 hours to have a stable power supply wherever they go. Plus, the AC2A has the company's lowest no-load loss at just 7.5W, making it an energy-efficient choice. Compared to its predecessor, the 4.6kg EB3A, the AC2A is lighter and more user-friendly. It automatically stops charging when it's fully charged, so users don't need to manually unplug the cable. That's one less thing to worry about during outdoor adventures. Plus, to save energy and preserve battery health, it can be turned off at any time while charging. The AC2A even solves a common problem with portable power stations - dead batteries that won't recharge. This beast can instantly activate when connected to a power source, ensuring they're never left powerless in the wilderness. The icing on the cake? The AC2A is available at an initial price of just US$179. As a special bonus, readers can get an extra discount of $5 by using the code PRAC2A during the debut price period -- Nov 2 to Nov 17.

With a generous capacity of 768Wh, it easily handles long road trips and emergency backup scenarios. A 1,000W continuous output with an impressive 2,000W peak covers a wide range of appliances from refrigerators and slow cookers to coffee makers. The AC70 can even run high inductive load appliances that typically draw 2,000W, such as mini kettles, hairdryers, or small power tools. What sets the AC70 apart is its flexibility in charging options and charging speed. Users can juice it up through wall outlets, solar panels, car chargers, or generators. As one of BLUETTI's fastest portable power stations, it goes from 0% to 80% in just 45 minutes and achieves a full charge in a mere 1.5 hours via 850W AC charging. But that's not all; the AC70 can also efficiently harness the power of the sun. At up to 500W of solar input, it can be fully charged in just 2 hours with optimal sunshine. The AC70 outdoor generator is a giant leap forward from its precursor, the EB70S. Not only does it charge faster, but it also has an onboard charger that allows people to charge the unit directly from a wall outlet without the need for a bulky adapter. In addition, the AC70 can serve as a reliable backup power source with its UPS function and switch over in 20ms. If anyone loses power while working from home or in a van, they can still be productive without missing a beat. And if that's not enough, the AC70 can be monitored and managed through the BLUETTI App via Bluetooth. Buyers can check charge and discharge levels, battery percentage, and more in real-time. On the phone, they can also adjust settings like Power Lifting mode to unleash its full potential, and ECO mode to help conserve power when it's not in use. Here's the exciting part - the AC70's debut price is just US$499. As a special bonus, readers can get an extra discount of $15 by using the code PRAC70 during the debut price period -- Nov 2 to Nov 17.
