November 1, 2016

According to the Palm Beach Post, Carmen Montalvo-Rivera of Miami was arrested and charged in Lake Worth, FL on Thursday, October 27th after investigators say she defrauded SUNZ Insurance Company. The arrest report states that Montalvo-Rivera’s shell company, Enterprises Remodeling Group Inc., used uninsured employers to do construction work. Once the job was finished, she would then cash the checks made out to the shell company in order to pay the workers in cash and severely underreport her company’s wages to the insurance company.

Montalvo-Rivera reported Enterprise Remodeling Group’s wages at $26,665 when they were actually $4,307,092.48. Her insurance premium should have been between $327,000 and $525,000 instead of the $1,796 premium she had been paying due to her fraudulent reporting.
