Reseda Broker Pleads Guilty to Forgery

June 20, 2005

Insurance broker Sajjad Hussain Shaikh, also known as Adam Shaikh, of Reseda, California has pled guilty to one count of forgery. Shaikh was sentenced to three years of summary probation and ordered to pay a $1,410 fine on May 24, 2005. Shaikh conducted business as Outstanding Services Insurance Agency, and previously used the name Year 2000 Insurance Services for insurance sales.

According to investigators, on March 24, 2004, the CDI received a complaint from United States Liability Insurance Group, alleging that someone had forged a United States Liability Insurance Company Errors and Omissions Declarations page. The forged declarations page listed Year 2000 Insurance Services as the insured.

Shaikh forged four United States Liability Insurance Company Errors and Omissions declarations pages for his own insurance business, covering the period from April 25, 1999 through April 25, 2003. Shaikh submitted these forged declarations pages to Western United Insurance Company, Infinity Select Insurance Company, Arrowhead General Insurance Agency Inc., Carnegie General Insurance Agency Inc., and Robert Moreno Insurance Services, in order to obtain brokerage agreements to do business with the companies.
