Crazy video appears to show accused fraudsters on NYC's Belt Parkway reversing into a car and pretending to be injured before realizing the camera

Unstable dashcam footage showed the moment accused insurance scammers struck a driver and appeared to fabricate injuries before seeing a dashcam on the Queens Belt Parkway.

According to a video of the collision uploaded to TikTok, Ashpia Natasha was driving on the three-lane parkway at 11 a.m. on Wednesday when a silver Honda Accord cut her off by merging from the center lane onto the left. The driver then applied the brakes.

Natasha avoided colliding with the Honda thanks to her fast reflexes. The erratic driver activates the hazards before smashing the vehicle into Natasha's front bumper with a foot on the accelerator. Using the speakerphone in the car, Natasha informed her husband, "I just got into an accident, I don't know what's happening." "It's crazy, this guy just turned around and turned into me."

According to Natasha, the male driver was able to exchange places with a female passenger by using a "tarp" to cover the rear glass.

As they examined the damage to the bumper, four people got out of the Honda, presumably with injuries.

Natasha stated, "I think the idea was to say I hit their car for insurance fraud purposes."

One female passenger appeared to be filming both cars as she got out of the driver's door with her phone out.

Following Natasha, a red Kia pulled up to the side of the collision, picked up the male motorist who was probably the culprit, and then drove off.

Natasha remembered how the other three passengers behaved differently when they saw her dashcam.

"They merely got out of the car with their phones out, ready to snap pictures of the two cars' damage. They departed right away after the transaction and asked to see my insurance.

Speaking with Natasha, the male passenger said that his wife was operating the vehicle and was not fluent in English.

In a follow-up video, she added, "They exchanged my license, insurance, registration, and everything very quickly so I didn't think anything of it."

When Natasha asked the other passengers if they could wait for her husband to arrive, they replied that they had to go "immediately in order to pick up their infant."

The other passengers used the arrival of a tow truck to check on Natasha's car as an excuse to get back in their own and drive away.

Natasha remarked, "I'm not really sure if they saw that I was driving alone or because of my car." They truly stopped following me after a while. Everything appeared to happen extremely quickly. This clearly appeared to have been planned out for some time. Undoubtedly not the first time for them.

The irate motorist claims that because she was driving alone and "everything happened so fast," she was unaware of the shift in drivers or that it was a "set-up" until she rewatched the footage.

When Natasha phoned the NYPD to report the collision, she was advised that if there were no injuries and all parties were prepared to share information, officers would not respond to the scene.

The NYPD has been contacted by The Post.

The New York State Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Board states that insurance companies reported 24,238 occurrences of suspected motor vehicle insurance fraud in 2020.

There were more than 18,000 cases classified as no-fault insurance fraud complaints, which is a 23 percent rise from 2019.
