DFS Warns to Beware of Unlicensed Insurance Entity

The Florida Department of Financial Services issued a press release today warning that it has received reports of an unlicensed entity selling bogus homeowners insurance in Florida. Global Insurance Group, headquartered in Aventura, FL., has been aggressively advertising that it offers the lowest windstorm insurance rates in Florida.

When asked about its licensing status, a company representative reported that it sells coverage through a company named Global Property and Casualty Insurance. Neither entity is either licensed or authorized to sell insurance in Florida.
